Description |
English: For years, there was no easy or cheap way to move logs, coal, and other resources directly from the east side of Lake Washington to Elliott Bay. There were many plans and several attempts to build a canal via Lake Union. However, none was successful until the Lake Washington Ship Canal was built in 1911 to 1917. The Hiram Chittenden Locks are still a vital part of the canal's operation. They allow boats and ships from Lake Union and Lake Washington to be lowered to the level of Puget Sound. Those traveling the other way are raised to the level of the lakes. This 1916 photo was taken while the Hiram M. Chittenden Locks were still under construction.Handwritten on sleeve: Ballard Locks under const., 1916. Caption by MOHAI staff.
