EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph depicts a freighter making its way through the Poe Lock in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, between 1903 and 1910. The image, captured by an unknown photographer, offers a glimpse into the industrial past of America's heartland. The Soo Locks, located at the eastern end of Lake Superior, are a series of locks that enable ships to navigate between Lake Superior and the lower Great Lakes. The hydraulic lift lock system, which is still in use today, was a marvel of engineering during the early 20th century. In this photograph, the freighter, with its tall smokestacks and massive cargo hold, appears to be looking down into the lock as it makes its descent. The lock's massive gates and machinery can be seen in the background, emphasizing the engineering feat that made this transportation route possible. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of the shipping industry in the United States, particularly in the Great Lakes region. The image, which is believed to have been taken by an unknown photographer for Detroit Publishing Company, has been preserved in the Library of Congress' Prints and Photographs Division. The image, which measures 8 x 10 inches and was likely taken on dry plate glass negative, has a timeless quality that transports us back to a bygone era. The freighter, with its powerful presence, serves as a reminder of the critical role that industry and transportation played in shaping the country's history.
