lakeshore line Obs. 
a long line used in the timber trade for getting logs from the shore to the vessels which were to carry them to market.
- 1945 Boats were lowered and long "lake shore lines" run from vessel to beach. The timber-men would set the timber afloat, the vessel men then "dogged" it together, a few pieces at a time. To reach their vessels they stood or sat on each little lot of timber and hauled it out by means of the "lake shore line."
