Print, Photographic

Sepia-toned photograph of the starboard of a completed Eagle Boat, on the Rouge River, following its launch from the Ford River Rouge Factory Complex. Men on board near the stern are taking down the boat's dressing of signal flags, and the banners draped along its side has been partially removed. A series of large silos, a smoke stack, and the frame of a building under construction are visible at the complex in the background. "27535-8-15-19," is printed in the lower right corner of the recto. The photo is mounted on a linen backing.
