Sailing schooner, Sailor Boy, is being loaded by wire chute at the shipping point in Caspar. Superintendent C. J. Woods stands on the platform pointing to the wire. A load of lumber, suspended from the travelers, will start down from the chute house and stop over the ship’s deck to be unloaded and stowed in the hold and on deck. (Gift of Verda Wakerley)
