| Title | Upstream Arm of Cross-River Cofferdam |
| Description | This is the beginning of the upstream arm of the crossriver cofferdam during the winter of 1936. It is projecting from the east bank of the river toward the steel cells of the west cofferdam. The wooden cribs were constructed on the river bank and floated into position where they were filled with rock and gravel and sunk. 9 million board feet of timbers in these cofferdams was not salvaged but burned in huge pyres. |
