A photo showing Merrimack River

The breach in the dam is located beyond the School St. Bridge at the very center of the dam, but high water obscured the actual damage. A local newspaper article interviewed a man who was nearby when the dam let loose. “James H. Walken was on the wharf of the Lowell Motorboat Club at the time the flashboards and capstones went out, and he states that the river dropped 3 feet in an instant.” The Lowell Motorboat Club sits at the entrance of the Pawtucket Canal about 700 feet from where the dam was breached.
