One black and white photograph of an underwater telephone cable being laid across the Trenton Channel of the lower Detroit River. The photo shows a Dunbar & Sullivan Company barge with a crane and cable reel in the foreground. Workmen are standing on the barge deck as the cable passes over a guide bar and is lowered into the water. The tugboat, Paddy, Miles, can be seen on the far side of the barge. A shoreline is visible in the background.
