• Name:Barb Koski MTU Class of: The U.S. Life-Saving Service, Portage Ship Canal lifeboat Chamption is at the dock/pier. In 1913 it was used to rescue the crew of the LC Waldo which is the freighter outside the canal. The watchtower is on the right. The boathouse and station are off photo to the right. Photographer is on the lighthouse property. This is the only photo I've seen of the metal pier/breakwater in service then. 1/8/2015 10:43:39 PM by Anonymous
