A post card depicting the SS Minnesota being coaled in Nagasaki around 1910. Coaling a ship was always an ardous process which involved an intensive work force and a lot of dirt. In fact, whilst loading coal, all the windows and doors had to be closed to avoid the coal dust to enter. After the process was finished, all the decks had to be cleansed extensively. Coaling a ship was more dfficult in ports of less developed countries (as Japan was before WW2), since they usually had a very insufficient infrastructure. It was only when after WW1 most ships started being fired by oil, that refueling was considerably eased.
