Dredge at edge of rapids, Sault Sainte Marie, Michigan

Photograph showing the Carkin, Stickney, and Cram's Dredge No. 9, apparently dredging the tail-race for the Dunbar and Chandler Powerhouse, for which construction began in 1887, making power available from it to Sault Ste. Marie by late 1888 or early 1889. The rapids, in the background, were still near their original, awe-inspiring state.
