This is a view of the collapsed lock wall taken July 6, 1961, at Wheeler Lock on the Tennessee River in Rogersville, Alabama. The photo was included in a TVA report titled “Wheeler Lock Failure” written in November 1961. The report concluded that a thin seam of clay located within a shale band in the bedrock caused the failure. (TVA Photo)
