Tanner's Dry Dock
This photo was taken from the west side of the drydock, looking toward the construction shops. The "LOIS of Snug Harbor" is to the right, and three other boats can be seen in the drydock. Another barge on the ways can be seen behind steamer. No date was noted.
Tanner's served the canal up until the old canal was abandoned in 1918.
