Leaving the Poe Lock, Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, ca. 1900
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an intriguing photomechanical print capturing a significant moment in the history of transportation in the United States. The image, created around the turn of the 20th century, depicts a ship gracefully departing from the Poe Lock in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. The Poe Lock, part of the Sault Ste. Marie Canal National Historic Site, played a crucial role in the shipping industry during this era. Located at the boundary between Lake Superior and Lake Huron, the canal system facilitated the transportation of goods between the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence Seaway, connecting the interior of the United States with the Atlantic Ocean. The photograph, likely taken by an unknown photographer for Detroit Publishing Company, showcases the industrial prowess and ingenuity of the time. The ship, laden with cargo, appears ready to embark on its journey, while the lock's impressive engineering is evident in the background. The vibrant colors and sharp details of the print, achieved through the photochrom process, offer a captivating glimpse into the past. The scene is further enriched by the presence of the Sault Ste. Marie Chippewa people in the background, whose ancestral lands the canal traversed. The confluence of history, industry, and culture is beautifully encapsulated in this photograph, making it an essential addition to any collection of American heritage art or historical records. This photomechanical print, now part of the Library of Congress's extensive collection, serves as a testament to the rich maritime history of Michigan and the United States as a whole. It invites us to reflect on the past and appreciate the ingenuity and determination that shaped our nation's transportation infrastructure.
