The image is a vintage postcard featuring an aerial view of the Presque Isle Harbor area in Marquette, Michigan, showing the former Shiras Pool and the Lower Harbor Ore Dock.
The large, forested landmass extending into the water is Presque Isle Park, a 323-acre peninsula on the shores of Lake Superior.
In the foreground is the Lower Harbor Ore Dock, constructed in the early 1930s for shipping iron ore from the Marquette Iron Range.
The small pool of water visible near the base of the peninsula is the former Shiras Pool, a popular community swimming spot that has since closed and is being considered for rehabilitation as an ecosystem.
The photo is estimated to be from the late 1950s or 1960s, prior to later expansions of the nearby power plant.
