| Description |
English: The Montlake Cut is part of the Lake Washington Ship Canal that connects Puget Sound, Lake Union, and Lake Washington. While digging the Montlake Cut, engineers built a temporary dam to hold back the waters of Lake Union's Portage Bay. The waters were released in August 1916, and the Lake Washington Ship Canal opened for business on July 4, 1917, after six years of construction. In this photo, a crowd of onlookers watches as the temporary dam at Portage Bay is broken. The photographer is facing southwest towards Portage Bay, at about the spot where the Montlake Bridge would be completed nine years later. Handwritten on sleeve: Montlake Cut Opening, 8-21-1916. Caption information source: "Lake Washington Ship Canal (Seattle)," by David B. Williams, HistoryLink.org Essay 1444.
