EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "City of Cleveland, Steamer #168 on the ways, 1907," showcases the industrial might of the Detroit River in the early 20th century. The image, created by an unknown photographer, captures the passenger steamer #168 of the Detroit and Cleveland Navigation Company being repaired in a graving dock. The steamer, proudly displaying the city of Cleveland's name on its hull, is surrounded by a flurry of activity as workers toil away, some balancing precariously on the boat's deck, while others labor at the dockside. The Detroit River, a vital waterway connecting Lake Erie and Lake St. Clair to Lake Huron, served as a lifeline for transportation and commerce between Detroit, Michigan, and Cleveland, Ohio. This photograph, taken by an unknown photographer for Detroit Publishing Company, offers a glimpse into the daily operations of the Detroit and Cleveland Navigation Company. The company's boats, like the City of Cleveland, played a crucial role in connecting the two cities and facilitating the movement of people and goods. The photograph, taken as a dry plate negative on glass, measures 8 x 10 inches and is part of the extensive collection at the Library of Congress. Its historical significance lies in its ability to transport us back in time, offering a window into the past and a reminder of the rich industrial heritage that shaped the Great Lakes region during the 1900s.
