A Piece Of History?

While walking on the beach of Lake Michigan, I spotted this chunk of cement. The wording on this chunk made me wonder if it had anything to do with the building of the Mackinac Bridge. What are your thoughts?

I think it could be! Can you translate the writing on it for us?

Yes, I can. It says...South Base 1953.

I should be in such good shape lying on a shoreline being 50-plus years old:-)

If you would like, I'll stamp 1957 on you forehead!

This is amazing. I just photographed that same piece last Saturday, but never put the two together. I like your theory.
I wonder if Dick Moehl would know, since the ribbon is tied on it.
