EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken between 1900 and 1910, showcases the impressive S.S. Merick of Duluth as it braves the icy waters of Lake Superior. The S.S. Merick was a prominent cargo ship operated by the Detroit Publishing Company, a leading publisher of postcards and views during the early 20th century. Located in Duluth, Saint Louis County, Minnesota, United States, the ship is seen here in its full glory as it docks at the pier, its hull adorned with intricate details and the company's insignia. The image captures the essence of the shipping industry during this era, with the S.S. Merick transporting essential goods across the vast expanse of water. The photograph is a dry plate negative glass 8 x 10 in, and its historical significance is evident in the meticulous attention to detail and the crisp contrast between the white ship and the icy, dark waters. The image is part of the vast collection of the Library of Congress, a testament to the rich maritime heritage of the United States. The S.S. Merick, with its powerful presence, stands as a symbol of the industrial might and determination of the era, as it braved the harsh conditions of the lake to deliver its cargo. The photograph, taken by an unknown photographer, is a reminder of the past and the role that the shipping industry played in shaping the country's history. Other notable ships in the Detroit Publishing Company's fleet included the S.S. Maricopa and the S.S. William A. Livingstone. This photograph is a valuable addition to any collection of American history, maritime history, or industrial heritage.
