| Description: |
The steam tug "Coponaning" towed booms of logs along the shores of Georgian Bay. Some of the rivers sawmills used to transport logs emptied into the Bay at quite a distance from the mill, and were then towed in booms by boats to the mills. A river driver is balancing on the end of the log nearest the tug. |
