EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the hustle and bustle of Detroit's ferry dock during the early 1900s. The image, titled "Str. Promise at Ferry Dock, Detroit, Mich.," showcases the Belle Isle and Windsor Ferry Company's vessel, "Str. Promise," docked at the busy waterfront. The ferry, with its tall smokestacks and ornate decorations, stands proudly against the backdrop of various other boats and buildings. Children and adults alike can be seen milling about, some waving goodbye to loved ones boarding the ferry, while others are eagerly preparing to embark on their journey. The Detroit Publishing Company's "Detroit Publishing Co." sign can be seen in the distance, a testament to the thriving industry that supported the city's growth. The photograph was taken between 1900 and 1910, during a time when the Detroit River was a vital transportation hub, connecting the United States and Canada. The image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when travel was an adventure and the world seemed a little smaller. This photograph, a dry plate negative glass 8 x 10 in, was taken by an unknown photographer, but it is clear that it captures a moment in history that is both beautiful and significant. The image is now part of the Library of Congress's collection, a testament to its historical value and enduring appeal.
