The busy inner port of Copenhagen in the late 20s / early 30s. The name of the location is Kvæsthusbroen" meaning the quay of the "injury-house" it being an old and apropriate name for a hospital getting it's supply of patients from the Navy and (I imagine) merchant Navy.
Found at FB ( a group with an interest of vintage Copenhagen).

Not sure about this one/ just thinking aloud: A veteran bosun is overseing the loading of the cargo in the hold, giving hand signals to the men in the hold - and perhaps to the guy operating the crane.
This photo feels like the 70s, but it's a guess. Found it at pinterest.
