EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph depicts the S.S. Sierra, an American cargo ship that sailed between 1906 and 1910. The image, captured during the early 20th century, showcases the ship's impressive size and stature as it docks at an unknown location. The S.S. Sierra, a freighter belonging to the Detroit Publishing Company (not to be confused with the Congressional Library's Detroit Publishing Co.), was a vital asset in the shipping industry during this era. The ship's hull is adorned with intricate details, from the rustic wooden planks to the distinct smokestacks that billow out plumes of smoke. The water surrounding the ship mirrors the calm serenity of the scene, adding to the overall sense of tranquility. The geographical feature in the background remains a mystery, but the vast expanse of water and open sky emphasize the ship's isolation and the grandeur of the maritime world. The photograph, taken as a dry plate negative on glass 8 x 10 inches, is a testament to the rich history of America's industrial past. The image was likely taken by an unknown photographer, such as Edwin H. Husher or William A. Livingstone, who captured countless moments of the era's industrial landscape. This photograph is not only a historical record but also an artistic masterpiece, showcasing the beauty and power of America's maritime heritage.
