EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the past with this image of a Mate's stateroom aboard the S.S. J.H. Sheadle, dating between 1906 and 1910. The black and white dry plate negative glass 8 x 10 in photograph, taken by an unknown artist, offers a glimpse into the living quarters of a crew member on an American cargo ship during the early 20th century. The cozy bedroom is furnished with two bunk beds, each adorned with a thin mattress and a single pillow. A wooden chair sits in the corner, likely used for reading or writing letters home. A small table with a simple desk and a few drawers is situated near the bed, providing a workspace for the mate to manage his duties. The room's decor is sparse yet functional, reflecting the practicality required on a freighter. The white-painted walls and wooden flooring add to the clean and orderly appearance. The room's location on the ship is not specified, but it's clear that this was a place of rest and respite for the hardworking crew member. This photograph, held in the Library of Congress, is a testament to the rich maritime history of the United States. The S.S. J.H. Sheadle, operated by the Detroit Publishing Company, was likely a vital part of the country's transportation infrastructure during this era. The image offers a unique perspective into the daily life of a crew member, providing a window into a bygone era.
