One sepia-toned photograph of the bulk carrier, A. H. FERBERT, at the Great Lakes Engineering Works shipyard in River Rouge, Michigan. The photo shows an elevated view of the shipyard and the starboard side stern section of the ship as it rests in the slipway prior to launch. Workmen and spectators are standing along the taffrail of the ship. Open water is visible in the foreground. Yard buildings and a large crowd of spectators can be seen in the left background. A black ink stamp at the lower right edge of the photo reads "Leon A. Soncrant, Jr." A black ink stamp on the verso reads "Photograph by Leon A. Soncrant, Jr., 300 Second St., Wyandotte, Mich." Adjacent handwritten black pencil text reads "#6."
