EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "John Craig of Fairport" and taken between 1900 and 1905 by B.F. Mills, captures the impressive sight of the cargo ship, Str. John Craig, in dry dock at Detroit, Michigan, USA. The image offers a glimpse into the bustling maritime industry of the early 20th century. The Str. John Craig, a freighter belonging to the Detroit Publishing Company, is shown undergoing maintenance work at the graving dock. The ship's hull is exposed, revealing the intricate details of its construction. Workers can be seen on the dock, likely making repairs and preparations for the ship's next voyage. Detroit, Michigan, was a major hub for shipping and transportation during this period. The city's location at the junction of the Detroit River and Lake Erie made it an ideal spot for maritime commerce. The Detroit Publishing Company played a significant role in documenting the city's industrial landscape, and B.F. Mills was one of its most prolific photographers. The photograph is a testament to the ingenuity and hard work that went into maintaining the fleet of cargo ships that kept the country connected through water transport. The image also showcases the company's commitment to preserving the history of the shipping industry, which continues to be an essential part of America's industrial heritage.
