EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the historic moment of the christening of the S.S. Seeandbee on November 9, 1912, at the Detroit Publishing Company's dock in Detroit, Michigan, USA. The S.S. Seeandbee, a steamship built for the Great Lakes, is seen being launched from the graving dock with the help of a large crane and a team of men. The American flag, held aloft by a man on the platform, waves proudly in the breeze, while another man, likely the ship's sponsor, holds the traditional christening bottle. The christening banner, emblazoned with the ship's name and the Detroit Publishing Company logo, hangs prominently from the crane. The scene is bustling with activity, as people gather on the dock to witness the launch of this new addition to the American maritime industry. The dry plate negative glass, 8 x 10 inches in size, was captured by renowned photographer William H. Jackson, providing a unique and valuable record of this significant event in American industrial history.
