Back in the early 2000's (I think) PBS WVIZ did a really cool series on things in Cleveland you don't get to see regularly. They went in and under the Soldiers and Sailors monument, to the top floors of the Key Tower, hidden parts of the Terminal Tower, and out to show the inside of the 5 Mile Crib.
It was really cool and for the life of me I cannot remember the name of the program or find it on youtube. |

From Cleveland to the N/NW, looks like a big ship, it's red...but it's always there. What is it? It's the intake for the City of Cleveland's water system. |

Ya! the good 'ole "5 Mile Crib."
Pa and I used to take out scrawny boat out there and fish in the 1950s-1960s. Man--THEM were the days! Nowadays, engineers were there measuring wind speeds for possible wind turbines in the lake:

Cool story time,
When the tunnel from the crib to the shore was being dug by hand, a methane leak and explosion killed a lot of the workers and trapped others. Multiple rescue attempts failed. Some people from the rescue party tracked down Clevelander Garret Morgan, a guy who was trying to market his new "gas mask" and he joined a rescue attempt along with a bunch of his new gas masks and was able to save several of the workers. A real hero. He also happened to be black and this all happened in 1916. |

I'd be more worried about getting crushed between whatever it is they are tying off and the crib if I fell into the lake. |

The Five Mile Crib (the Kirtland Crib or just The Crib) is not 5 miles offshore. It's 5 miles diagonally from the pumping plant on E49th Street (formerly Kirtland Street) and S Marginal .
Crib dates to 1890 (over 125 years ago) -- guess you've not been paying any attention.
