Whaleback freighters of ore and grain in canal, Sault Ste. Marie, Mich.


Stereoview of two whalebacks in the canal at Sault Sainte Marie, Michigan. The one on the left appears to be the JAMES B. COLGATE of Duluth. The large whaleback on the right is one of the numbered barges. Both of them are running light as they are upbound. The tug in the lock with them is the Union Towing & Wrecking Company's towboat GENERAL.
