EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image from the early 1910s, a sightseeing car is parked outside the Belle Isle Aquarium in Detroit, Michigan, USA. The Detroit landscape is a bustling hub of activity, with the city's skyline visible in the background. The sightseeing car, adorned with comfortable seats and large windows, offers tourists an unobstructed view of the picturesque surroundings. Belle Isle, an island located in the Detroit River, was a popular destination for tourists during the 1910s. The island was home to various attractions, including the Belle Isle Aquarium, which opened in 1875 and was the oldest public aquarium in the United States at the time. The island also featured a zoo, conservatory, and scenic drives. The sightseeing car provided a convenient and enjoyable way for tourists to explore the island and its attractions. The vehicle's open-air design allowed visitors to take in the fresh air and scenic views while traveling in comfort. The sightseeing car industry was in its infancy during this period, and Detroit was at the forefront of this new mode of transportation for tourists. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the early days of tourism in Detroit and the role that sightseeing cars played in making the city's attractions accessible to visitors. The image captures the essence of a bygone era, where travel was an adventure, and sightseeing was a cherished experience. The photograph's historical significance makes it an essential addition to any collection of American history or Detroit-themed imagery.
