EDITORS COMMENTS
"This photograph, taken between 1900 and 1905, depicts a towboat skillfully maneuvering a cargo ship through the St. Clair Ship Canal. The image, captured by an unknown photographer, offers a glimpse into the industrial heritage of the United States and Canada during the early 20th century. Located on the Saint Clair River, which forms the border between Michigan, USA, and Ontario, Canada, the St. Clair Ship Canal was a vital transportation hub for the shipping industry. The canal allowed large vessels to bypass the shallow and treacherous waters of the St. Clair River, making it possible to transport goods between the Great Lakes and the Atlantic Ocean. In this photograph, we see a towboat expertly guiding a cargo ship into the canal. The towboat, with its powerful tug at the ready, is a testament to the ingenuity and hard work that went into moving heavy cargo during this era. The ships, with their distinctive smokestacks and cargo holds, are reminiscent of a bygone era when the waterways were the lifeblood of commerce and industry. This photograph, taken as a dry plate negative on glass 8 x 10 inches, is a valuable addition to any collection of historical images. It offers a unique perspective on the maritime history of the United States and Canada, and serves as a reminder of the crucial role that the shipping industry played in shaping the economic and cultural landscape of the region." -- Credit: Unknown, "A tow entering St. Clair Ship Canal, between 1900 and 1905," Heritage Images.
