Pineapples Move Through Mobile Port in 1913 Import Surge

Mobile handles a booming pineapple import trade led by the Munson Steamship Company. About one third of U S Cuban pineapples enter via Mobile, with 147 257 crates totaling 3 550 968 fruit from January to May 1913. The season runs January to mid May, dwarfing the prior year’s 19 815 crates.

Pineapple imports power Mobile port traffic and jobs

Pineapples arrive by Munson Line ships and are unloaded by two winches at each hold, then moved by rail to warehouses. The industry fuels Mobile revenue, with quick turnover and heavy railroad support, and prospects for a larger 1914 crop grow from Cuban growers. The New York port only handles more pineapple traffic in the United States.
