Confederate Prisoners of War on Johnson's Island, Ohio

View of quarry with steam powered cranes used for loading limestone slabs on flatcars which were hauled to the dock area where the large derricks would load the slabs on barges for shipping. The cranes in this photo, which was taken about 90 years ago, are similar in basic design to modern-day cable cranes.
