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 a port side view of the forward section of the ship as it rests in the slipway prior to launch. A covered platform for the viewing and ceremonial launching of the ship is visible near the lower edge of the bow. 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 "#7."
