EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken around 1900, depicts the bustling activity at the L.S. & M.S. [Lake Shore & Michigan Southern] Ry. Co.'s docks in Ashtabula, Ohio. The image captures the essence of the industrial revolution, with a barge laden with ore docked at the pier. The workers, dressed in heavy clothing, are seen unloading the ore with shovels, transporting it to the rail cars behind them. The pier extends into the river, with smoke rising from the stacks of the nearby factories, adding to the scene's atmospheric quality. Ashtabula County, Ohio, was a significant center for the ore industry during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railway Company played a crucial role in transporting the raw materials from the mines to the factories and markets, making Ashtabula a hub for industrial activity. The photograph, taken using a dry plate negative glass 8 x 10 in, is a testament to the rich history of industrialization in America. The image captures the raw power and energy of the ore industry, with the boats, barges, and railways all working in harmony to transport the valuable resource. However, the photograph also hints at the environmental impact of the industry, with the smoke rising from the factories and the potential for pollution in the water. This photograph is an essential piece of American heritage, providing a glimpse into a bygone era of industry and transportation. It is a reminder of the significant role that the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railway Company played in the development of the ore industry in Ashtabula, Ohio, and the United States as a whole.
