EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken around 1903, showcases the Floating Dry Dock in Algiers, Louisiana, a significant industrial landmark of its time. The location, situated in the Mississippi River, was a critical hub for the shipbuilding and maritime industry in the United States. The image, captured by an unknown photographer, offers a glimpse into the past, revealing the intricacies of the docking process. The colossal structure, known as a graving dock, is anchored to the riverbed, allowing ships to be lifted out of the water for repairs or maintenance. The Detroit Publishing Company's Detroit Publishing Co. imprint is visible on the bottom right corner of the dry plate negative glass, 8 x 10 inches in size. The photograph transports us back to the early 1900s, a period marked by rapid industrialization and expansion in the United States. The scene is bustling with activity, as workers scurry about the dock, and ships are docked at the nearby wharf. Telefon Sandefjord, a company not related to the Detroit Publishing Company, is visible on one of the ships, hinting at the international connections that were commonplace in the shipping industry during this era. This photograph, held in the collections of the Library of Congress, is a testament to the rich maritime heritage of New Orleans, Louisiana, and the United States as a whole. The image offers a unique perspective on the industrial processes that shaped the country's economic landscape during the 20th century.
