EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, an unidentified freighter anchors at the Detroit waterfront in Michigan, United States of America, between 1906 and 1915. The image, captured using a dry plate negative glass 8 x 10 in, showcases the industrial might and maritime activity during the early 20th century in America. In the distance, the elegant passenger steamer Britannia can be seen gracefully navigating the Detroit River. Detroit, a bustling city located in the heart of Michigan, was a significant hub for transportation and commerce during this period. The image highlights the unique architectural features of the city's piers and docks, which served as crucial links between land and water. The freighter, with its imposing size and powerful presence, symbolizes the importance of water transport in moving cargo and goods across the country. The Britannia, a steamship of notable elegance, adds a sense of contrast to the scene. Its sleek design and tall smokestacks contrast sharply with the utilitarian appearance of the freighter. The photograph is a testament to the rich maritime heritage of Detroit and the United States as a whole. This image, from the vast collection of the Library of Congress, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the Detroit River was a vital artery for transportation and commerce in America. The photograph, a beautiful blend of history, industry, and natural beauty, is a must-see for anyone interested in the 1900s and 1910s, American history, or maritime heritage.
