Still attached to the catamaran barge by the tubular lifting frame, Sill Shell No. 6 is lowered into place beneath the Ohio River Thanksgiving Day. The shell is part of the tainter gate section of the Olmsted Dam under construction between Illinois and Kentucky 17 miles upstream from the Mississippi River.
