EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, dating between 1900 and 1910, depicts the S.S. John Ericson, an iconic cargo ship of the era. The image, captured by an unknown photographer, showcases the ship's impressive exterior as it docks at an unidentified location in the United States. The S.S. John Ericson was a notable addition to the maritime industry during the early 20th century, belonging to the Detroit Publishing Company, which was known for its extensive collection of photographs documenting American life and landscapes. The ship, a whaleback, was a unique design for its time, characterized by its flat-bottomed hull and vertical sides, which allowed it to navigate shallow waters and load cargo more efficiently. The image captures the industrial prowess of the era, with the ship's massive size and intricate details, such as the smokestacks and lifeboats, evident in the glass dry plate negative. The geographical feature in the background is not immediately identifiable, adding to the mystery and intrigue of the photograph. The S.S. John Ericson represents a significant piece of American history, showcasing the country's industrial might and the role of shipping in transporting goods across the vast expanse of water. This photograph is now part of the extensive collection at the Library of Congress, serving as a reminder of the past and a testament to the enduring legacy of the shipping industry in the United States.
