  • This is an aerial view of Wheeler Lock in June of 1961 shortly after the needle dam had been placed in the upstream lock gate opening. Much of the wall nearest shore slid about 30 feet, and parts of it collapsed into the lock. The photo was included in a TVA report titled “Wheeler Lock Failure” written in November 1961.
