Description: The Fraser mill in Sainte Anne after the flood of 1936. We can see damages caused by the ice floes. This mill was located at the mouth of the Quisibis and Saint John Rivers. It was in operation between 1925 and 1932, and operated day and night. Nearly 350 men worked at that mill producing 110,000 boardfeet daily.
