One black and white photograph showing a seawall under construction at McCormick Place on the Chicago waterfront. The crane barge, "OJIBWAY," of the Merritt-Chapman & Scott Corporation and a second crane barge are using pile drivers to place sections of steel sheet piling for a new seawall. The south end of Meigs Field airport is visible in the left background. A typewritten label near the lower right corner reads "Dock Wall South of McCormick Place, FS 1216, October 19, 1965, Enclosure of South Half of Job." A black ink stamp on the verso reads "Calumet Studio, Arthur P. Stalla, SO 8-1951, Reorder No. FS6565."
