Interesting. I wonder if those reefers were chilled, or simply ventilated?
Growing up on Long Island, Westbound reefers with the ice hatches up or open, were loads of potatoes. Reefers with closed hatches were usually cauliflower, iced.
The use of water, for unloading, makes sense. I would have to assume that those spuds went straight to processing, if they're "damp" enough they sprout "roots", fairly quickly.
