EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Launching Party, Str. Seeandbee, 1912 Nov 9," captures a historic moment in American industrial history. Taken by renowned photographer William H. Jackson, the image documents the launching ceremony of the steamship Seeandbee at the Detroit Publishing Company's dock in Detroit, Michigan, United States of America. The scene is bustling with activity as a large crowd gathers on the dockside, eagerly watching the event unfold. A group of men, dressed in formal attire, stand on a dais, some with their hands in their pockets, others with hats in hand, all gazing intently at the ship. A man in a suit, believed to be Edwin H. Husher, the president of the Detroit Publishing Company, stands at the center, addressing the crowd. Behind them, a graving dock extends into the water, with the partially completed steamship, the Seeandbee, resting on it. The ship's hull is still exposed, revealing the intricate details of the shipbuilding process. A platform, with a large crane and a group of men, is positioned at the bow of the ship, ready to launch it into the water. The launching ceremony was an official event, attended by congressional representatives and other dignitaries, marking the completion of another successful shipbuilding project by the Detroit Publishing Company. The photograph serves as a testament to the company's heritage and the country's rich maritime history.
