Title

English: Montlake Cut under construction, Seattle, ca. 1914

Description

English:

The Lake Washington Ship Canal followed the routes of earlier canals and streams which connected Lake Washington, Lake Union, and Salmon Bay. This photo shows the Montlake Cut between Portage Bay, shown in the background, and Union Bay in about 1914, about three years after construction started. A steam shovel is excavating the hillside; the tracks were for a train that transported the dirt away from the site.

Handwritten on sleeve: Lake Wash Canal. Caption by MOHAI staff.
