One sepia-toned photograph of the launch of the bulk carrier, SS NORTH STAR, at the Great Lakes Engineering Works shipyard in St. Clair, Michigan. The photo shows a port side bow view of the ship as it moves sideways off the slipway and into the water. A gantry crane, docks, and yard buildings are visible in the foreground and background. The ship was owned by the Mutual Transit Company of Buffalo. The photo is mounted on a dark brown matte frame.
