EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Dumping a car, Ellsworth coal chutes, Cleveland, Ohio, c1901," offers a fascinating glimpse into the bustling coal industry of early 20th century America. The image, captured by an unknown photographer, showcases the intricate process of unloading coal from a cargo ship at the Ellsworth coal docks in Cleveland, Ohio. In the foreground, a worker stands atop a coal car, meticulously shoveling coal into the chutes that lead to the waiting rail cars below. The coal chutes, a testament to industrial engineering, are a marvel of their time, allowing for efficient and rapid unloading of coal from ships. The cargo ship, anchored in the background, towers over the dock, its holds filled to the brim with the precious fuel that powered the nation's industrial engine. The waterfront teems with activity, with other workers and machinery in the background, all contributing to the seamless transfer of coal from ship to rail. The photograph, taken as a dry plate negative on glass, measures 8 x 10 inches and is part of the Detroit Publishing Company's extensive collection held at the Library of Congress. The Detroit Publishing Company, known for its high-quality reproductions of American scenes, would have distributed this image to its clients for various uses, such as promotional materials or personal collections. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the critical role the coal industry played in America's industrial growth, and the men and women who labored to ensure the fuel was transported efficiently and effectively to power the nation's factories and homes.
