This section of a larger panorama from 1945 is rotated 90-degrees clockwise to highlight Irishtown Bend and the coal dock that existed on the northwest bank. The coal dock at Irishtown Bend was the center of national attention during a strike in the spring of 1909. Sailors and dock workers all over the Great Lake's shipping network, particularly in Cleveland, Buffalo, Chicago, and Detroit, fought for better schedules and wages. During the strike, this coal dock hosted several riots. One riot strikers stoned a freighter, and another they fired upon police. | Date: 1945 | Source: Cleveland State University.
