Trix... when I put my comment the door at the far end was open and some of them were looking out, rather like I do when I'm deciding whether or not to go out!!! LOL
And I agree with your comment to Ahmed.
Deacon... a very interesting article. So Garret A Morgan invented a breathing device that he used way back in 1916 to rescue 2 people, It's a shame that officials stopped further rescue and recovery. What an awful way to die.
And what an amazing feat of engineering in its day.
Here is a link to Case Western Reserve University. There is a very interesting article written up on the Crib. Didn't know that 58 men were killed constructing the water tunnels under Lake Erie.

I am in the western suburbs, not far from the lake. I often go to the lake and "five mile crib" is in plain view. It is claimed to be five miles outshore but I do not know from exactly where.
