EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print captures the awe-inspiring sight of a whaleback ship departing from Poe Lock in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. The imposing vessel, with its distinctive curved hull and towering masts, dominates the frame as it navigates through the lock system. This remarkable engineering feat showcases the intricate hydraulic locks that enable ships to traverse between Lake Superior and Lake Huron via the Sault Sainte Marie Canal. The powerful force of water is harnessed to raise or lower vessels, allowing them safe passage through this vital waterway. Taken in 1899, this historic image not only documents an important moment in maritime history but also highlights the significance of Michigan's role in shaping trade routes within the United States. Sault Ste. Marie served as a crucial link connecting industries across different regions and facilitating economic growth. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of both human ingenuity and nature's grandeur. The juxtaposition of man-made structures against the vastness of Lake Superior serves as a testament to our ability to conquer challenges presented by Mother Nature while respecting her power. This print from Liszt Collection offers us a glimpse into an era when these unique whaleback ships ruled these waters, leaving an indelible mark on maritime history that continues to fascinate us today.
