Title
Bridge at Oil City, PA
Description
At the mouth of Oil Creeks, spectators watch rafts that have made it downstream after a so-called "pond fresh." The creek was too shallow for navigation much of the year, so dams held water then released it all at once--a chaotic process that often resulted in capsized rafts, and perhaps 20,000 barrels of oil transported to the Oil City port.
