One sepia-toned photograph of a sidewheel passenger steamship being launched at the Detroit Dry Dock Company. The photo shows a port side view of the hull as it slides off the ways and creates a large splash of water along the port side. A dock and open water are visible in the foreground. A trestle and gantry crane are visible in the left and center background areas of the shipyard. Company buildings can be seen in the right background.
