EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the S.S. Morro Castle under construction at Cramps Shipyards in Philadelphia between 1900 and 1901. The image shows three men standing on a dock or wharf, observing the progress of the shipbuilding process. The S.S. Morro Castle was a passenger ship built for the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad Company, later known as the United States Lines. The ship was notable for its luxurious amenities and was considered one of the finest transatlantic liners of its time. The photograph was likely taken using a dry plate negative process, a common photographic technique during the early 1900s. The image provides a glimpse into the industrial past of Philadelphia and the bustling shipping industry during the era. The men in the photograph, dressed in work clothes and hats, add a sense of human scale to the massive ship under construction. The image also offers a window into the occupation of shipbuilding, an essential industry for transportation and commerce during this period. The photograph is a valuable historical record of the S.S. Morro Castle and the shipbuilding industry during the early 1900s. It is a reminder of the ingenuity and hard work that went into building the ships that transported people and goods across the world's oceans. The photograph is a testament to the rich industrial heritage of Philadelphia and the United States as a whole.
