A logging operation in progress in Big Cypress Swamp by Lee Tidewater Cypress Company, based in Copeland. There is a wheeled tong or "bicycle" (center), skidding cypress logs out of the swamp for loading onto railroad flat cars (right). A large crane, logging line, and workers are on the far right. The original typed caption reads " Logging at Lee Cypress."
