Print, Photographic

One black and white photograph of a pipeline wrapping machine. Rolls of a tar paper-like fabric stand ready to be rotated around the pipeline as it passes through the machine. Long sections of steel pipelines can be seen in the background with evergreen trees in the far background. A black ink stamp on the verso reads "Collins Construction Co., Submarine Pipeline Specialists, Victoria, Texas. If you wish to reorder from this print, please ask for # ---, Collins Construction Co., Photo Dept." The pipelines were being prepared for placement across the Straits of Mackinac as part of the Lakehead Pipeline project that was being managed by the Merritt-Chapman & Scott Corporation.
