EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, taken around 1908, captures the S.S. Howard L. Shaw as it sails through the waters of the United States. The cargo ship, operated by the Detroit Publishing Company, is named after its founder, Howard L. Shaw. The image was taken using a dry plate negative glass 8 x 10 in and was likely taken by an unknown photographer. The S.S. Howard L. Shaw is shown here in its industrial glory, with its tall smokestacks billowing out plumes of smoke against the backdrop of a clear blue sky. The ship's vast size and powerful presence are emphasized by the open water and the small geographical feature in the distance. The Detroit Publishing Company was a leading publisher of postcards and photographs during the early 20th century, and this image is a testament to the company's commitment to documenting the industrial might of the United States. The shipping industry played a crucial role in the country's economic development, and the S.S. Howard L. Shaw was a key player in this important sector. The photograph is now part of the collections of the Library of Congress, making it an invaluable historical record of a bygone era. It provides a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the might of industry and the power of the water were harnessed to move goods and people across the country and around the world. The S.S. Howard L. Shaw is a reminder of the rich maritime heritage of the United States and the important role that shipping played in shaping the country's history. This photograph is a testament to the enduring power of the image to capture history and transport us to another time and place.
