Description: The Sainte Anne Fraser sawmill after the flood on March 22nd, 1936. We can see the damage caused by the ice floes. This mill which was located at the mouth of the Quisibis and Saint John Rivers, was in operation between 1925 and 1932 and operated day and night. About 350 men worked there and produced 110,000 feet of board daily.
