ships at the establishment of the Javakade in Amsterdam, 1910s

"The Javakade is located on Java Island in Amsterdam's Eastern Docklands. From 1910, the Dutch Steamship Company (SMN) established itself here, providing warehouses, workshops, and accommodations for Indonesian sailors. The Javakade was the departure point for ships bound for the Dutch East Indies.

"The SMN transported passengers, mail, and goods such as rubber, tin, spices, and coffee between the Netherlands and the colony. The Javakade was a hub in this colonial infrastructure.

"After the Japanese surrender in 1945, the Indonesian struggle for independence began. Dutch troops and goods were transported to Indonesia via the Javakade and SMN ships for the so-called "police actions."

"Trade with Indonesia largely ceased in the 1950s. The SMN withdrew from Java Island, and the area fell into disrepair until it was redeveloped into a residential area in the 1990s." (tracesofwar.com)

Despite featuring a steam train, it may not be as old as it looks.  Cherkasy is a city downstream of Kiev on the Dnieper River.
