This one at least would be temporary, unlike the Millrace Low Head Dam itself. That nearly century-old dam from a bygone era of energy infrastructure lurks below the surface, and for years it has trapped kayakers and floaters passing through. Dams like this are often called “drowning machines” because of their powerful recirculating currents that swirl like a washing machine.
