Photograph. Black and white photo showing the dock at the Detroit Edison Delray electric power plant. A crane is standing by after loading a large cable reel onto the deck of the tugboat, G. F. Becker, that is tied up at the dock. Workmen and office staff appear to be taking a break. The tugboat and work crews are constructing aerial power lines across the Detroit River which will form an interconnection between the Delray electric power plant in Detroit and the Ontario Hydro J. C. Keith Generating Station in Windsor, Ontario. Structural steel members at the base of one of the transmission line towers can be seen in the foreground. In the background, the Detroit River, J. C. Keith Generating station, and the Canadian shoreline are visible.
