EDITORS COMMENTS
Great Lakes Engineering Works, located in Ecorse, Michigan, was a prominent industrial site during the early 20th century. This photograph, taken around 1906, captures the bustling activity at the facility. The image shows several men working on a dock, with ships and boats docked in the background. The large graving dock, which is visible in the center of the photograph, was used for the construction, repair, and maintenance of ships. The company, which was also known as GLEW or Great Lakes Engineering, was a significant player in the maritime industry of the United States, particularly in the Great Lakes region. The photograph was taken using a dry plate negative glass 8 x 10 in. The scene is set against the backdrop of the Detroit River, with the city of Detroit visible in the distance. The men in the photograph, dressed in work clothes, are busy at their tasks, adding to the sense of industry and productivity. Some are seen working on the hull of a ship, while others are loading or unloading cargo. The photograph provides a glimpse into the past, showcasing the important role that industrial companies like Great Lakes Engineering played in the development of the United States. The photograph is a valuable historical artifact, and is part of the collections of the Library of Congress. It is a reminder of the heritage and industrial legacy of Ecorse, Wayne County, Michigan, and the United States as a whole. Some of the notable figures associated with the company include Edwin H. Husher and William A. Livingstone, who were key figures in the company's history. This photograph is a testament to the rich industrial history of the Great Lakes region and the important role that shipbuilding played in the development of the United States.
