One black and white photograph of the work operations for laying an underwater telephone cable across the Trenton Channel of the lower Detroit River. The photo shows a Dunbar & Sullivan Dredging Company barge with a cable reel and crane. Cable is unwinding from the reel and is passing over a guide bar before entering the river. Eight workmen are standing or seated on the barge deck, and the tugboat, Paddy Miles, is keeping station nearby on the calm river. A shoreline is visible in the background
