Sorry, this video is no longer available

If you’ve been on the Lakewalk in the past week, you’ll notice a big piece of history might look a little different.

The Cribs, which is an old cement dock, has sat abandoned on the shores of Lake Superior since 1922.

With a closer look, you’ll notice the front circular part is gone.

City officials don’t know exactly when it disappeared, but they believe old age and heavy ice buildup are to blame.
