South Channel Dam bulkhead, Skowhegan, 1901
Item 8146 info
Skowhegan History House
Workers begin to clean up after the water had receded from about six feet over the bulkhead at the South Channel Dam in Skowhegan in 1901.
The mechanism at left is a part of the gates and hoisting machinery. The tangle of timbers toward the right and rear is the wreck of the Madison toll bridge.
The flood damaged the wooden toll bridge and destroyed the suspension bridge. Workers had to use dynamite to clear up the debris.
The mill at right, probably built by M. J. Allen, later became the Marston Worsted Mills, then Adams & Burns. The building burned.
