EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the impressive Floating Dry Dock at Great Lakes Engineering Works in Ecorse, Wayne County, Michigan, USA, in 1906. The image, created by an unknown photographer, offers a glimpse into the bustling industrial activity of the early 20th century. The dry dock, which appears to be in use, is surrounded by various ships and cargo vessels, all docked at the wharf. The intricate engineering of the dry dock is evident in the detailed image, with its massive metal structures and intricate machinery. The ships, some freighters and others with distinctive smokestacks, are reminiscent of the golden age of Great Lakes shipping. The scene is set against the backdrop of the United States flag, proudly displayed on several of the vessels. The image, which is a dry plate negative glass measuring 10 x 8 inches, is a testament to the rich industrial heritage of Detroit Publishing Company, which documented the country's growth and development during this period. Notable figures in the shipbuilding industry, such as Edwin H. Husher and William A. Livingstone, may have overseen the construction and operation of the dock during this time. The photograph, now held in the Library of Congress, is a valuable historical record of the shipbuilding industry and the role it played in the transportation of goods and resources across the Great Lakes.
