Print, Photographic

One sepia-toned photograph of the third international tugboat race on the Detroit River. The center area of the photo shows three tugboats upbound on the river in fair weather. The vessels are identified as follows (left to right): ATOMIC of McQueen Marine, Ltd., NEBRASKA of the Great Lakes Towing Company, and JOHN ROEN V of the Roen Steamship Company. The Detroit Edison Company Delray Power Plant can be seen on the shoreline in the background. An adhesive label with typewritten text on the verso reads "Boats - Races - Tugboats, Won by John Roen V, 5-24-52." An adjacent blue ink stamp reads "Photograph by The Detroit News, Not to Be Published."
