This propellor wheel is typical of those
used to drive lakes freighters. It measures 14 feet 3 inches
in diameter and weighs over 11 tons; being made of a special bronze alloy, its value exceeds $10,000. The propeller was removed from
the 520 foot ore-carrier Charles S. Hebard
which was built in 1906 and scrapped 60 years later

Gift of Fraser Shipyards, Superior, Wisconsin
