Work Scows
Photographer: Allen C. Browne
Taken: April 26, 2017
Caption: Work Scows
Additional Description: Work Scows moved up and down the canal so that maintenance crews could make repairs. If a boatman saw a work scow, he knew that something was wrong with the canal that might delay his trip — he hoped that the crew fixed the problem so that he could be on his way.
