Black and white photo with the handwritten caption, "'WILFRED SYKES' - Forward View - Detroit, 5-25-'50," depicting a view of the main deck of the Inland Steel Company freighter WILFRED SYKES, as taken from on board on the promenade in front of the aft cabin, facing toward the bow, while it was docked in Detroit. People are lined up along the starboard side of the main deck. A dock crane is on the shore beside the ship's pilothouse. In the background are the construction of the Mistersky Power Station, one of the Boblo boats at dock, two docked railroad ferries, and the Ambassador Bridge.
