Print, Photographic

Black and white photo of the Ford Motor Company Marine Division freighter HENRY FORD II on the St. Clair River, as taken off of its port quarter, after its 1974 conversion to a self-unloader. A hand holding a cigarette sticks out from a row of windows beneath a retracted cloth covering, presumably part a boat on which the photographer was also riding. A tree-lined shore is in the background on the left. A handwritten note is on the verso:
