Great Lakes Engineering Works, Ecorse, Mich., 1906: A Glimpse into the Past of Industrial America This photograph, taken in 1906, captures the bustling activity at the Great Lakes Engineering Works in Ecorse, Michigan. The image, created by an unknown photographer, offers a fascinating glimpse into the industrial landscape of the early 20th century in the United States. Located in Wayne County, Michigan, along the shores of the Detroit River, the Great Lakes Engineering Works was a significant player in the shipbuilding industry during this era. The photograph shows a busy scene at the shipyard, with several cargo ships docked at the wharf, their masts and rigging reaching towards the sky. The ships, loaded with various cargos, were likely being repaired or undergoing maintenance at the engineering works. The image also reveals the industrial prowess of the United States during this period. The shipyard is bustling with activity, with workers scurrying about, and scaffolds and cranes towering over the scene. The ships, which were essential for transporting goods across the Great Lakes, were the backbone of the region's economy, and the engineering works played a crucial role in ensuring their continued operation. The photograph, which is a dry plate negative glass 8 x 10 in size, has been preserved in the Library of Congress, a testament to its historical significance. The image is also a reminder of the rich industrial heritage of Detroit and the surrounding areas, which continue to shape the region's identity to this day. The photograph's creators, Edwin H. Husher and William A. Livingstone, are not mentioned in the available information, but their work captures a moment in time that is both historic and evocative. This image offers a unique window into the past, providing a glimpse into the industrial might and ingenuity of America during the early 1900s.
