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 and workmen in the foreground. A telephone cable is passing over a guide bar on the barge transom to other workmen on shore. A large number of Michigan Bell Telephone Company employees (wearing hardhats) are standing along the treed bank of the shoreline. Telephone company trucks can be seen beyond the trees in the background.
