EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "City of Cleveland, Steamer #168 on the ways, 1907," showcases an industrial scene on the Detroit River in the United States. The image, created by an unknown photographer, offers a glimpse into the past of the Detroit and Cleveland Navigation Company. In the foreground, a large graving dock dominates the scene, with a crane and men working diligently to repair or build the hull of the passenger steamer, City of Cleveland, identified by its number 168. The steamer is positioned on the ways, which are the sloped platforms used to build and repair ships. The Detroit River, a significant geographical feature, flows in the background, with other boats and docks visible in the distance. The Detroit and Cleveland Navigation Company, established in 1832, played a crucial role in the transportation industry, connecting the cities of Detroit, Michigan, and Cleveland, Ohio, via the Detroit River. The company's fleet of steamers provided essential transportation services for passengers and cargo, contributing to the growth and development of both cities. The photograph, taken in 1907, captures the industrious spirit of the era, with men in work clothes laboring on the dock, and the large crane looming overhead. The image is a testament to the ingenuity and determination of the people who built and maintained the ships that plied the Detroit River. This historic photograph, with its rich heritage and industrial theme, is an essential addition to any collection of American history or maritime history. The image, a dry plate negative glass 8 x 10 in, is held in the collections of the Library of Congress, a treasure trove of historical and cultural resources for researchers, students, and history enthusiasts.
