Description |
Government dock under construction, c. 1943. Note on back of photo: probably written by Frank Bourke, "The fence in lower right separates the project from the two C & NW docks to the south. At about the time of this photo construction was stopped, as the progress of the war meant that the additional docks would not be needed, since the threat to the Soo Locks was no longer a realistic probability. The site the government docks was, until torn down in 1936, where the two Milwaukee Road (CMStP&P) docks were located." |
