Print, Photographic

One sepia-toned photograph of a cargo ship being launched at the Saginaw Ship Building Company yard in Bay City, Michigan. The photo shows a starboard side view of the unidentified ship as it moves sideways off the slipway and into the water with a large splash. Silhouettes of several workmen can be seen on the ship and shore. The Saginaw River, a line of timber pilings, and part of a small island are visible in the foreground. Shipyard buildings and equipment are visible in the background.
