EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken between 1900 and 1905, depicts a steam pilot boat skillfully moored at a bustling waterfront dock. The American flag, proudly displayed at half-mast, flutters gently in the breeze, a symbol of patriotism and national pride. The steam pilot boat, a vital component of water transportation during the early 20th century, is tied securely to the wharf with ropes, ready to assist larger vessels navigating the waters. The image, captured by an unknown photographer, offers a glimpse into the rich maritime heritage of the United States during this era. The scene exudes a sense of industry and activity, with the pilot boat's powerful steam engine and tall, distinctive smokestack contrasting against the calm, blue-gray waters. The weathered wooden dock, with its worn planks and weathered banner bearing the name "Detroit Publishing Co," adds to the historic atmosphere. The image, a dry plate negative measuring 65 x 85 inches, is a testament to the artistry and technical prowess of early 20th-century photography. The pilot boat's mooring at the dock also serves as a reminder of the important role these vessels played in the transportation sector, ensuring the safe passage of larger ships through treacherous waters. This photograph, with its timeless beauty and historical significance, is a treasure trove of American history, transporting us back to a bygone era of industry, innovation, and national pride.
