EDITORS COMMENTS
"This photograph captures the historic moment of the launch of the cargo ship Str. F.P. Jones on March 8, 1913. The location of the launch site is unknown, but it is believed to have taken place in the Great Lakes region of the United States. The ship, which was operated by the Detroit Publishing Company, was named after Edwin H. Husher, a prominent businessman and politician from Wyandotte, Houghton County, Michigan. The image shows the ship being gently eased into the water by a large crowd of onlookers, including company officials and local dignitaries. Among those present were Edwin H. Husher and William A. Livingstone, who are identified in the photograph. The shipyard and surrounding area are bustling with activity, with workers and equipment visible in the background. The Str. F.P. Jones was a significant addition to the shipping industry in the United States, contributing to the transportation of goods and raw materials across the Great Lakes. The launch of this vessel was likely a source of pride and excitement for the community, and this photograph provides a glimpse into the industrial and maritime heritage of the early 20th century in America." This photograph is a dry plate negative glass, 8 x 10 inches in size, and is part of the collections of the Library of Congress. The creator of the image is unknown.
