Because of its direct access to the North-Sea, the hanseatic town of Bruges participated in international trade and received market rights in 1200 AD. The picture shows several cogs in the harbour. With a crane, driven by men, workers load and unload the ships. Bales and sacks are stacked on the stockyard. Merchants directly sell their goods in the harbour. In the background you can see the belfry of Bruges which, together with the cloth hall refers to the Flemish cloth trade.
