EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Str. Seeandbee, 1912 Dec 7" by William H. Jackson, captures a moment in the history of Detroit, Michigan, and the United States' industrial era. The image, taken on December 7, 1912, depicts the steamship "Seeandbee" docked at a wharf, surrounded by a bustling dockyard scene. The ship, built by the Detroit Publishing Company, is a testament to the country's maritime industry and the company's significant contributions to transportation. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, revealing the intricacies of shipbuilding and water transport during the early 20th century. The dockyard is filled with activity, as workers load and unload cargo, and steamships of various sizes can be seen in the background. The foreground of the photograph, however, is dominated by the "Seeandbee," with its impressive smokestacks and intricate details. Despite the industrial setting, the scene is not without its contrasts. The image also reveals the presence of waste and rubbish, with piles of garbage and trash scattered around the dockyard. This juxtaposition of industry and waste highlights the challenges and realities of the era, offering a more nuanced perspective on the past. The photograph is a dry plate negative glass 8 x 10 in, and is part of the collections of the Library of Congress. It is an essential addition to any collection of American history, industrial heritage, or photography. William H. Jackson's work continues to inspire and inform our understanding of the past, offering a glimpse into a bygone era and the complexities of American history.
