Great Lakes Engineering Works, Ecorse, Mich., 1906: A Glimpse into the Past of American Industrial Might This photograph, taken in 1906, offers a glimpse into the rich industrial history of the United States, specifically in the Great Lakes region of Michigan. The image, captured by an unknown photographer for Detroit Publishing Co., showcases the Great Lakes Engineering Works located in Ecorse, Wayne County, Michigan. The photograph reveals a bustling shipyard, where the construction of cargo ships was underway. The scene is a testament to the ingenuity and industrial prowess of the era. The ships, under various stages of completion, are dwarfed by the towering cranes and machinery that surround them. The dry dock, where ships are repaired and maintained, is visible in the background. The photograph also features two prominent figures, Edwin H. Husher and William A. Livingstone, who were likely overseeing the operations at the shipyard. Their presence underscores the importance of human labor in the industrial process. The Great Lakes Engineering Works played a crucial role in the shipbuilding industry, contributing to the transportation of goods and raw materials across the Great Lakes and beyond. This photograph serves as a reminder of the country's industrial heritage and the critical role that shipbuilding and transportation played in shaping the American economy during the 20th century. Today, this photograph is part of the vast collection of the Library of Congress, a testament to the enduring value of documenting history. It invites us to reflect on the past and appreciate the industrial achievements that have shaped our world.
