EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'S.S. Alameda with supplies for new railroad at Anchorage, between c1900 and c1930,' captures a significant moment in the industrial history of Anchorage, Alaska. The image was taken by Maude Dempsey, a renowned photographer of the 20th century. The photograph shows the S.S. Alameda, an American cargo ship, docked at the wharf in Anchorage, Alaska, with a vast array of supplies destined for the construction of a new railroad. The railroad, a vital infrastructure project, was a testament to the growing industrialization of Alaska during the early 1900s to 1930s. The image is a snapshot of the bustling activity at the dock, with people working diligently to unload the supplies from the ship. The railroad tracks can be seen in the background, extending into the distance, signaling the beginning of the railway's construction. The S.S. Alameda, with its tall smokestacks billowing out steam, adds to the industrial ambiance of the scene. The photograph is a valuable addition to the Library of Congress's collection, providing a glimpse into the transportation history of the United States, particularly in the context of Alaska's development. The image is a testament to the importance of water transport in moving goods and supplies to remote locations, and the role it played in the growth of industries such as railways. The photograph is a monochrome representation of a pivotal moment in history, with the S.S. Alameda bringing the necessary supplies to build the new railroad, marking a significant step forward for the industrialization of Anchorage, Alaska.
