EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken around 1908, captures the industrious scene of an electric hoist unloading ore at a dock in Buffalo, New York. The image, created by an unknown photographer, offers a glimpse into the bustling activity of the ore industry during the early 20th century in the United States. Buffalo, located on the shores of Lake Erie in Erie County, New York, was a major hub for the transportation of raw materials, particularly iron ore, from the Midwest to industrial centers in the East. The Detroit Publishing Company's dry plate negative glass, 8 x 10 inches in size, documents the use of advanced technology, such as the Brown electric hoist, in the unloading process. The image showcases the hoist, with its impressive height and intricate machinery, as it lifts ore from the ship's hold and deposits it onto a railway track. The railway line stretches out into the distance, leading to the heart of the industrial sector. In the background, the outline of a ship can be seen, docked at the busy waterfront. The photograph is an essential piece of historical documentation, providing insight into the country's industrial heritage and the role of Buffalo in the ore industry during this period. The image is now part of the vast collection of the Library of Congress, a testament to the enduring value of capturing and preserving moments from our past.
