William B. Dickson

William B. Dickson
"Sun, Oct 24 1937
Steamer Dickson
passing second lock
at Soo."

Since the McArthur lock hadn't yet been built, the "second lock" would be the Davis Lock. The still-standing building shown is consistent with that (don't know what the building's function is, but likely that will show up in the comments eventually). Clearly Mr. Borucki was standing between the old Poe lock and Davis when he took this photo.

This ship was built in 1910 and retained her original name until 1969, when she was renamed Merle McCurdy. McCurdy was scrapped in 1989.

William B. Dickson was a US Steel vice president when his namesake ship was built, having been a Carnegie partner prior to the merger. Later he was an officer of Midvale Steel. To all appearances he was relatively enlightened about labor relations, and thus unusual among the Steel Trust founders. He passed away in 1942.
