A Small Line Was Thrown
A small line with a weight on its end was thrown to a worker on shore. It is possible to throw a light line far. It would be impossible to toss the main thick line that far.

Light Line Pulls Over Docking Line
The man on shore used the light line to pull the heavy docking line over. The bow of the ferry was tied up first so that its rear could swing around to back up to the unloading ramp.

A Horse Statue
A man carried a statue of a horse off the ferry. The horse was wrapped in furniture pads and so we could not tell if it was art or a carousel animal. That he could carry it on his back suggested that the horse was built of fiberglass.
