Description
A black-and-white photo with white text written at the bottom: "C-13. Log cradle where ocean going log rafts are built on Columbia River". The photograph shows a framework of upright posts held together with boards connecting the tops of the posts. A second set of boards runs along the posts just above the water. Each post also has a board bolted to each side about five feet above the water, and these boards slant down diagonally into the river. The "cradle" appears to be put together in long sections, with gaps between the sections. In the center of the picture the area in between the slanting sides of the "cradle" is filled with logs lying end to end in the water. Some of the logs still retain bark and moss, and others are smooth. Two people are standing on logs, one on each side of the "cradle". The man on the right wears a hat, suit, light shirt, and tie, and seems to have his hands in his pocket. The other person is all in dark colors and does not appear to be wearing a hat. Not far beyond him the water in the "cradle" is empty of logs. To the left of the image is a line of trees near the water.
