EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in August 1937, showcases the Montgomery Government Lock and Dam on the Ohio River in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA. The image transports us back to the 1930s, a time of significant engineering advancements and public works projects. The Montgomery Lock and Dam, completed in 1937, was an essential component of the Ohio River Waterway System, which facilitated the navigation of large vessels and controlled the flow of water for hydroelectric power generation and flood prevention. The photograph offers a striking perspective of the lock's impressive architecture, with the intricate pattern of the lock gates and the towering concrete walls reflecting the calm waters of the Ohio River. The industrial landscape in the background, featuring smokestacks and factories, underscores the economic significance of the waterway during this era. The Montgomery Government Lock and Dam was a marvel of engineering innovation, allowing the efficient movement of goods and people between the Monongahela and Allegheny Rivers and the Ohio River. This image serves as a testament to the ingenuity and determination of the engineers and workers who built it, as well as the resilience and progress of Pittsburgh and the United States during the 1930s.
