User Comments:
• Plan of the Arctic Coal Company's wharfing and warehouse area in 1912. A handwritten note running from the shoreline towards the dock reads Proposed New Aerial Tramway" relates to the company's consideration of a new storage area for coal (also seen on DigArch MS018-Z-09-02) which was never completed."
