EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph depicts the S.S. George B. Leonard, an American cargo ship that sailed between 1903 and 1910. The image, captured by an unknown photographer, showcases the ship docked at a wharf, surrounded by the hustle and bustle of industrial activity. The S.S. George B. Leonard, a freighter belonging to the Detroit Publishing Company, was a significant addition to the shipping industry during the early 1900s. The ship's powerful presence is evident in this image, with its towering mast and intricate rigging. The water shimmers in the background, reflecting the crisp, clear sky above. The dockworkers, dressed in heavy coats and hats, can be seen in the foreground, engaged in their daily tasks, adding to the sense of activity and movement. The S.S. George B. Leonard was a vital part of the transportation infrastructure during this era, helping to move goods and supplies across the country and beyond. The Detroit Publishing Company, which owned the ship, was a pioneer in the publishing industry, producing and distributing high-quality photographic prints of American scenes, including this striking image of the S.S. George B. Leonard. This photograph, a dry plate negative glass 8 x 10 in, is now part of the vast collection of the Library of Congress, a testament to the rich history of America's maritime past. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the industrial might and ingenuity of the early 20th century.
