EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this vintage image of a Hughlett clam-shell hoist in the hold of a ship, taken in Conneaut, Ohio, USA, during the early 1900s. This impressive machine, with its massive 12-ton bite, is a testament to the ingenuity and industrial might of the era. The clam-shell hoist, a type of hydraulic crane, was widely used in shipyards and factories for lifting heavy loads. The steam-powered vessel, surrounded by the dimly lit hold, adds to the atmospheric and mysterious quality of the photograph. The lantern light illuminating the scene highlights the intricate details of the machinery, from the gears and pulleys to the intricately designed clam shell. The Victorian and Edwardian influences are evident in the ornate details of the ship's interior, from the wooden beams and metalwork to the decorative elements. This photograph offers a glimpse into America's industrial past, a time when manufacturing and industry were at the forefront of the nation's growth and development. The image is part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, a treasure trove of historical photographs that capture the essence of a bygone era.
