- Description
- For more than twenty days, the ice threatened the Niagara Wharf. It finally broke completely free on April 29, 1909. In the end, every wharf and dock along the lower river was completely destroyed except for the Niagara dock. There would have been a considerable loss to the tourism economy of Niagara-on-the-Lake, the Niagara Navigation Company, and Michigan Central Railway had the wharf given way to the enormous stress placed upon it.
