Dear Sir,

The caption that you have on the St Mary's River near the locks is a longitudinal raft.

It is a five-bay ribbon bridge that the 1437th Multi Role Bridge Company out of Sault Ste Marie MI, uses to ferry whatever the army needs to cross a river.

On the 15th of September there was a Meet the National Guard Day that the public could come down and see what their local soldiers do.
