1953
Handwritten on back, "#3 A crane with an 80-foot boom is moved into position and two cables attached to the trunk to hold the 5-ton tree upright when cutting operations begin. Before the crane moved into position, electric power on the estate had to be cut off and the power lines in front of the tree, shown on previous picture, had to be taken down."
