Sepia-toned photo of the Ford Motor Company Marine Division freighter JOHN DYKSTRA docked beside the Ford River Rouge Complex's steel mill on the southwest side of its canal, taken across the canal off the freighter's starboard bow, facing south. A fence boom floats in the canal in the foreground. A handwritten note is on the verso:
