EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the moment of triumph and progress as the cargo ship, Str. F.P. Jones, sets sail for the first time on March 8, 1913. The image, taken at the dockyard in Detroit, Michigan, United States of America, is a testament to the industrial might and maritime heritage of the country during the 1910s. The ship, proudly displayed against the backdrop of the waterfront and the surrounding crowd, represents the hard work and innovation of the Detroit Publishing Company and its employees, including Captain Edwin H. Husher and Captain William A. Livingstone. The Str. F.P. Jones, a freighter of significant size and capacity, was a crucial addition to the shipping industry in the United States. The launching ceremony was undoubtedly an occasion of great significance for the company and the community, bringing together people from all walks of life to witness this historic event. The photograph, taken as a dry plate negative glass 8 x 10 in, beautifully encapsulates the spirit of the era and serves as a reminder of the role that the shipping industry played in shaping the nation's economic and industrial landscape. The image, from the collections of the Library of Congress, is a valuable historical artifact that provides a glimpse into the past and offers insights into the country's rich maritime heritage. The photograph's timeless appeal lies in its ability to transport us back to a bygone era, where the power of human ingenuity and the might of the sea combined to create a new chapter in the story of American progress.
