Throwback Thursday: Did you know that the Graan Elevator Maatschappij (GEM) was once the main player in grain handling at the port of Rotterdam? Starting in 1908, GEM transformed the port with its floating elevators. These massive machines swarmed around seagoing vessels like giant spiders, transferring cargo to inland ships.   A 1925 postcard shows the Maashaven filled with these floating elevators. Their chimneys created a constant haze of smoke and grain dust over the Nieuwe Maas. For decades, they were a symbol of Rotterdam’s busy port life. GEM’s innovations helped Rotterdam become a global leader in bulk cargo.   Today, unloading and loading grain ships is much more advanced. Modern mechanical and pneumatic unloaders use suction arms and conveyor belts to process even the largest ships quickly. These systems improve safety and reduce dust, showing how far port technology has come.   The last remaining floating grain elevator is now part of the Maritime Museum’s collection, preserving this chapter of maritime history.   Photo sources: picture 1: KLM Aerocarto (Stadsarchief Rotterdam), picture 2: Ary Groeneveld (Stadsarchief Rotterdam)   #maritime #portofrotterdam #throwbackthursday #shipsandshipping #rotterdam
