Interestingly as a child in the 1940's it was referred to as the Ice House where blocks of winter Lake Superior ice were stored for later distribution to many residents who still had ice boxes instead of refrigerators. The water in that area was seldom warmer than 42 degrees, but old truck innertubes were a must for those of us that braved the waves. Oh, mustn't forget the joy of watching the many cars racing around on the ice in winter.

The Cribs is the remnant of a sand and gravel loading dock built by Harvey Whitney in 1919. The idea was to speed the off-loading of aggregate for the booming construction trade in Duluth by letting the barges unload off shore and avoid the wait to enter through the busy canal. The problem was that without an outer harbor wall, the boats couldn't approach the dock when the weather was rough. By 1922 the project was abandoned and the Cribs was left to the ravages Lake Superior weather. Today, the Cribs is a popular swimming and diving spot in the summer.

An interesting place and a great spot if your looking for a unique geocache on the crib. Enjoy all all times of the year.
