1906 Port Arthur Public Utilities Manhole Cover, Thunder Bay
This 1906 cast iron manhole cover from Port Arthur, Ontario, served the city's public utilities before its amalgamation into Thunder Bay in 1970. It represents the independent management of water, sewer, and electrical services by Port Arthur. The cover is a relic of early municipal engineering in northwestern Ontario, reflecting the area's industrial development as a key Lake Superior port.
