"Coal bunker ship" is an odd wording. The "coal bunker" is the dock. If the ship transported coal (likely, since it is a sailing ship at a coal dock) it would be a "coal ship," "collier ship," or just "collier."

The coal bunker at King Street was rapidly rebuilt after the 1889 fire; it is only partially built here, compare File:King St wharf and coal bunkers, Seattle, Washington, July, 28, 1898 (INDOCC 9).jpg.
