The Dry-dock Gate as it Appeared in the 1920s

The camera is positioned inside and at the bottom of the dry-dock looking in a southerly direction. The floor, the curved sill and the sides of the dry-dock are made of large limestone blocks. The gate is sealed against the sill and the sides by the pressure of the water on the outside. New seals on the dry-dock gate will avoid the leaks.

In this view you can see the stepped stone altars and the massive limestone blocks used for the sill and the sides - these to take the pressure of Lake Ontario pushing on the gate. These photographs are believed to date from the 1920s.
