One black and white photograph of the Merritt-Chapman & Scott Corporation construction staging area for the Lakehead Pipeline crossing of the Straits of Mackinac. The photo shows a group of visitors who are standing on a dock and ready to observe the construction operations. A rip rap shoreline is visible at the left side of the photo. A "Control Tower" building with a film crew on the roof can be seen in the center background, and a long section of steel pipeline with a float lashed on top can be seen in the right background. Evergreen trees are visible in the far background. Black ink stamps on the verso read "Merritt-Chapman & Scott Corp. Photo," and "Sep. 17, 1953." The staging area was located west of St. Ignace, Michigan, at Pointe La Barbe.
