Cookman Collection #2

November 14, 1939

This image shows a large pond of very muddy water in immediate foreground with a dragline excavator siting on the high bank above. A small cat tractor sits next to the excavator at far right. The excavator's boom is swung to the left of the image and the large bucket hangs suspended as it dumps a load of muskeg soil dredged from the pond onto the shore. A mix of disturbed ground and snow cover is visible in middle ground with vegetated bench ground indistinct in background.
