EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the historic launch of the cargo ship Str. A.D. MacTier on March 8, 1913. The image, created by an unknown photographer, offers a glimpse into the maritime industry during the 1910s in the United States. The Str. A.D. MacTier was launched at the Detroit Publishing Company's shipyard in Wyandotte, Houghton County, Michigan. The ship, named after A.D. MacTier, a prominent figure in the shipping industry, was a freighter designed for transporting dry goods and other cargo. The photograph shows the ship being launched into the water, with a large crowd gathered on the shore to witness the event. The shipyard workers, dressed in heavy work clothes, are seen pushing and pulling on ropes to guide the ship into the water. The ship's hull, still wet from the launch, glistens in the sunlight, while the water around it is calm and still. The Detroit Publishing Company, known for its high-quality photographic prints, captured this moment in history using a dry plate negative glass 8 x 10 in. The photograph is a testament to the industrial might and ingenuity of America during the early 20th century. The launch of the Str. A.D. MacTier was a significant event in the shipping industry, and this photograph serves as an important historical record of the occasion. The image is now part of the collections of the Library of Congress, a repository of the nation's cultural heritage.
