EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, dating between 1890 and 1910, captures the broadside view of the steamship S.S. Dakota as it cuts through the water with an ominous plume of black smoke trailing behind. The S.S. Dakota was a prominent vessel in the maritime trade during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, owned by the Detroit Publishing Company, which was founded by the influential businessman James J. Hill. The image, a silver gelatin glass transparency, showcases the ship's powerful profile, with its tall smokestacks and intricate detailing. The glass transparency adds a unique texture and depth to the photograph, enhancing the sense of history and nostalgia. The S.S. Dakota was a significant addition to the United States' growing water transportation infrastructure during this period, contributing to the country's expanding industrial and commercial capabilities. The image, now held in the Library of Congress, serves as a testament to the country's maritime heritage and the role of companies like Detroit Publishing in documenting and promoting American progress. The photograph's creator remains unknown, but it is believed to have been taken by either Edwin H. Husher or William A. Livingstone, both of whom were prominent photographers working for Detroit Publishing during this time. The image's historical significance and visual appeal continue to make it a valuable addition to any collection focused on American history, maritime transportation, or industrial development.
