Inscriptions Typed in ink on slip of paper placed behind photograph: Oar dock inside the breakwater at the west side of the city and bridges, Cleveland, Ohio. At the extreme left can be seen the four immense shovels or cranes, which move perpendicularly very rapidly, a special type of arms with bucket, capable of rapidly unloading one for four ships at a time. Taken by A. Thomas Nelson about 1918.
My father (Grant S. Price) drove me before leaving the city to work one morning, further out the same drive to see the waves dashing high against the breakwater on a very rough morning.
