Description
Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. Access to this collection is generously supported by Haynes Foundation funds. Possibly related to a similar one of workers repairing an aqueduct pipe captioned, “A Million People Praise Their Labor In the picture above is shown how reconstruction is being hurried in the No Name Canyon Aqueduct conduit, scene of the first of two recent dynamite explosions. Below is a close-up of the conduit, showing the extent of the explosion and the crews at the repairs. [Photographs by George R. Watson, Times staff correspondent],” Los Angeles Times, 31 May 1927: A12 This photograph is possibly related to a different photograph of the same event that appears with the article, “Aqueduct situation tense as investigators for city find unexploded case of dynamite: WATER GUARDS IN SECRET RIDE no-name canyon now alive with repair crews water soon fill flow into blasted siphon auto numbers may lead to arrest of outlaws,” Los Angeles Times, 31 May 1927: A12 The camera looks down the length of the interior of a blast-damaged aqueduct pipe. The majority of the image is in shadow. Light entering from the far end of the pipe illuminates a small portion of the pipe at center. Rivets are visible lining the interior of the pipe. A few boards are strewn across the bottom of the pipe. Three men are visible standing at the far end of the pipe. One man stands at center, another man crouches down behind and to the left of him and a third man peeks into frame from the right. A rocky slope is visible rising behind them.
