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. Groups of workmen are standing or seated on the barge deck, and the tugboat, Paddy Miles, is moored alongside. In the foreground, a flagpole, a dock, and the small tugboat, Norma B, are visible. The Grosse Ile shoreline is visible in the background.
