Touring the Cleveland Harbor, 1958
Customs Collector Alina Cermak, shown here in 1958 with U.S. Senator John W. Bricker (center) and Port Director W. J. Rogers (right), tours the Cuyahoga River to view harbor improvements funded with federal spending. Cleveland's industry was hard hit after the Second World War. The unemployment rate increased significantly as factories moved out of Cleveland. The St. Lawrence Seaway, completed the following year, connected all the Great Lakes to the Atlantic Ocean. Cermak believed that the shipping channel and Lake Erie could bring more employment opportunities to the city.
