Unique apparatus invented by Duluth's Captain Alexander McDougall for use on his whaleback ships. About fifty appear to have been produced at the American Steelbarge Company Shipyard in Superior. This one was recovered in 1977 from the wreck of the Thomas Wilson, sunk in 1902. Salvaged by Robert and Randy Bradford, Al Kennedy, Judy Ferrell, and Elmer Engman.
