Print, Photographic

Black and white photo of the Ford Motor Company Marine Division freighter ERNEST R. BREECH in the Soo Locks' MacArthur Lock, as taken from the shore off of its starboard bow after it has been lowered. Workers stand by bollards to which the freighter is tied along the shore. Another freighter--presumably the PAUL H. CARNAHAN--waits behind it to enter the lock. The Sault Ste. Marie International Bridge is in the background. A third freighter--presumably the PERCIVAL ROBERTS, JR.--is in the Poe Lock on the right. A handwritten note is on the verso:
