One black and white photograph of the work operations for laying an underwater telephone cable across the Trenton Channel of the lower Detroit River. Four Michigan Bell Telephone company engineers (wearing hardhats) are standing on a bank at the Grosse Ile shoreline in the foreground. One man is standing on the bank at the far left and may be a newspaper reporter or photographer. A Dunbar & Sullivan Dredging Company barge with a cable reel and crane can be seen on the river in the right center area of the photo. The tugboat, Paddy Miles, is tied off the left side of the barge. In the far background, the hazy outline of the Trenton shoreline is faintly visible.
