EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, the Canadian S.S. Manitoba gracefully cuts through the tranquil waters, leaving a gentle ripple effect in its wake. The steamship, built in 1908, was a proud addition to the maritime fleet during the early 20th century. With its distinctive smokestacks and elegant lines, the S.S. Manitoba embodies the spirit of transportation innovation during this era. The image, taken by an unknown photographer, captures the ship in its natural element, surrounded by the vast expanse of water. The geographical feature in the background is not immediately identifiable, adding to the sense of mystery and adventure. The photograph, a dry plate negative glass 8 x 10 in, was likely taken for the Detroit Publishing Company, a prominent publisher of American and Canadian views during the late 1800s and early 1900s. The Canadian S.S. Manitoba was a testament to the ingenuity of the time, with a capacity of over 3,000 tons and the ability to travel at a speed of 15 knots. The ship was owned by the Canadian Pacific Steamship Company and made regular trips between ports in Canada and the United States. This photograph is a valuable piece of maritime history, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the important role that steamships played in the transportation of goods and people during the early 1900s. The image, now part of the collections at the Library of Congress, serves as a reminder of the rich heritage and history of water transport in North America.
