Description

This image was taken behind the Margaret R. Grundy Memorial Library on Radcliffe Street in Bristol, PA. When Fairless Steel Company opened near Morrisville in the 1950s, large ships brought products for the steel industry and tug boats were needed to help with the docking of the ships. They dredged the river channel to 45 feet in depth.
