EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "City of Cleveland, Steamer #168 on the ways, 1907," transports us back in time to the early 20th century in the United States. The image, created by an unknown photographer, showcases the industrial might of the Detroit and Cleveland Navigation Company as their passenger steamer, City of Cleveland, undergoes repairs in a graving dock on the Detroit River. The scene is bustling with activity as workers in overalls and men in suits oversee the process. The steamer, with its grandeur and size, dwarfs the surrounding buildings and dockworkers. The Detroit-Michigan border is visible in the background, highlighting the geographical significance of the location. The photograph, captured as a dry plate negative glass 8 x 10 in, offers a unique glimpse into the past, showcasing the company's commitment to maintaining its fleet and providing reliable transportation on the Detroit River. The image, held in the Library of Congress, is a testament to the rich industrial heritage of Detroit and Cleveland Navigation Company and the United States as a whole. The City of Cleveland, a passenger steamer, is a symbol of the era's progress and innovation. The photograph's historical value lies in its ability to transport us to a time when the Detroit River was a vital transportation hub, connecting two major cities and fueling the growth of industry in the region. The photograph's composition, with its focus on the steamer and the dockworkers, offers a fascinating look at the people and the process behind the maintenance of these impressive vessels. This image is a must-see for anyone interested in maritime history, industrial heritage, or the history of Detroit and Cleveland.
