Diver Repairing a Lock Gate at Sault Sainte Marie, Michigan, 1908
01
Artifact Overview
The first lock at Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, opened in 1855. It allowed boats to navigate the 21-foot climb from Lake Huron to Lake Superior along the St. Marys River. Over time, additional locks were built on the American and Canadian sides of the river. The Soo Locks became one of the world's busiest waterways -- despite being closed in winter.
