Shot in a wide panoramic format, this view takes in an entire lock and the water running beside it, a scale that suits the large engineering works of the period. The record does not name the exact site, but it is filed under Theodore Roosevelt's presidency, which ran from 1901 to 1909 and saw strong federal interest in waterways and navigation. Roosevelt's best-known project was the Panama Canal, whose construction he pushed forward from 1904, and its system of locks drew wide public attention. Locks like this one lifted and lowered vessels between water levels, which made them central to the era's ambitions.
