It 18 the most extensive river port in the world. When the quays of the older part of Duisburg and those of the little town of Homberg, across the Rhine, are added the wharfage facilitiea of the Duisburg district_are fairly staggering in ex- tent. They stretch for more than five miles_along the Rhine; and many branched basins have been construct- ed leading from that river and the Ruhr, as if giant hands had been pressed Into the earth agaln and again, leaving a channel for each finger. ¥ “A_constant stream of\tugs, barges and larger vessels moves in and out of the channels under normal condi- tions, and the craft of Ruhrort are to be found in all parts of the Rhine. Down the Ruhr valley come coal and some iron, though the larger part of the iron needed in this great in- dustrial region was shipped in hefore the war from German Lorraine, French Lorraine, Luxemburg, Sweden and Spain. A considerable part of this was brought in on the Rhine. Other raw materials and food prod- ucts were imported, adding to the commerce, and coal and manufac- tured products were shipped out in great quantities. “Near the water front in the Duis- burg, district are situated innumerable factories and industrial establish- j ments—collieries, steel and iron plants. rolling mills, blast furnaces. foundries. machine shops, chemical works, saw mills, shipyards and va- rious other enterprizes. Because of its importance as an industrial cen-} ter and river port, the Duisburg re- gion can be looked upon as a Pitts- burgh and a New Orleans i L leans rolled into iome of Mereator. “Old Duisburg dates from the dim past, being first mentioned in 430 A.

Now it is a ‘village’ of more than 360,000 population—a city with more in- habitants than Seattle and not many thousands less than Minneapolis. It is one of the handsomest cities in western Germany, with commodious parks and some fine old buildings, The streets of the fld nucleus of the city are narrow and crooked, but the newer Sections have been laig out with wide avenues.
