One sepia-toned photograph showing the launch of a sidewheel passenger steamship at the Detroit Dry Dock Company. The view shows a port side stern view of the hull as it slides off the ways and creates a large splash of water along the port side. Many workmen are standing on deck of the ship near the taffrail. A crowd of onlookers can be seen on the dock in the foreground. A gantry crane trestle is visible in the right background area of the shipyard.
