Description
The Norcross Transportation Company used this scow, located at the edge of Norcross Cove on North Twin Lake, to transport bulky cargo such as draft animals, hay, logging supplies and equipment, to the Lower Lakes from the rail head at Norcross.
Most of the boats used on the lakes were constructed on site. The blacksmith shop was located in back of the scow.
