Title	Madison Marine Ways
Subject	Shipyards; Madison Marine Ways; Cragmont State Hospital; Madison State Hospital; Piers & wharves
Description	Here's a view of the Madison Marine Ways at the west end of Madison, Indiana. By the time this photograph was taken the ways were almost completely abandoned. It is a contrast to pictures showing several boats at one time on the ways and others crowded about the docks. The large complex of buildings above the river on the hilltop is the Madison State Hospital, also known as Cragmont, which was built in the early 1900s. One reason for its being built in Madison was because of the ease of transportation on the railroads and steamboats.
