Sepia-toned photo of the Ford Motor Company Marine Division freighter ERNEST R. BREECH headed down the Detroit River toward the Ambassador Bridge, as taken from the bridge, above the freighter's port bow, facing north. Two railroad ferries are docked along the Detroit riverfront in the background--one at its slip, the other beside the shore. Buildings along the riverfront from 15th Street to 10th Street are visible in the background. "Ernest R. Breech - 7, S.S. Ernest R. Breech downbound in the Detroit River at the Ambassador Bridge, 9-14-66," is handwritten, and "Elmer Treloar, 101 California, Highland Park 3, Mich. To. 9-4896," is stamped on the verso.
