Car Ferry Braves the Icy Waters: A Glimpse into Early 20th Century Transportation This photograph, titled 'Car Ferry in the Ice, between 1900 and 1905,' offers a fascinating glimpse into the past of transportation history in North America. The image, captured by an unknown photographer, depicts a car ferry bravely navigating through a thick layer of ice on a body of water, believed to be located in either the United States or Canada. The ferry, which appears to be a Detroit Publishing Company production, is seen transporting several automobiles, likely making its way from one shore to another. The photograph, taken as a dry plate glass negative, measures 65 x 85 inches. The intricate details of the ferry, the cars, and the surrounding ice are beautifully captured, showcasing the determination and ingenuity of early 20th century transportation. The photograph is a reminder of the significant role that car ferries played in the development of transportation networks during this era. Prior to the widespread use of bridges and tunnels, car ferries were a crucial means of transporting people and goods across bodies of water. This photograph, from the collections of the Library of Congress, provides a unique and captivating perspective into the industrial and historical context of the time. The photograph also highlights the harsh winter conditions that early transportation companies had to contend with. The ferry, with its determined crew, braves the icy waters, demonstrating the resilience and resourcefulness of those who worked in the transportation industry during this period. The photograph is a testament to the spirit of innovation and progress that characterized the early 20th century, and serves as an important reminder of the rich history of transportation in North America.
