EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the moment of history as the steamship Str. Philadelphia, a magnificent vessel of Detroit Publishing Company, drops her pilot in the year 1903. The image, a dry plate or glass negative, was likely taken by an unknown photographer, possibly Edwin H. Husher or William A. Livingstone, both of whom were known to have worked for Detroit Publishing. The Str. Philadelphia, a passenger and cargo steamship, was a significant addition to the company's fleet and a symbol of American industrial prowess during the early 20th century. The ship, with its distinctive funnel and impressive size, dominates the landscape of the image as it sails through the open waters. The geographical feature in the background is not clearly identifiable, but the image exudes a sense of adventure and the thrill of travel by sea. The photograph is a testament to the rich maritime history of the United States and the role that companies like Detroit Publishing played in documenting and promoting it. The image, now a part of the collections at the Library of Congress, is a valuable historical artifact that continues to fascinate and inspire.
