Black and white photo of the christening of the race powerboat, MISS DETROIT V. The photo shows a starboard side bow view of the boat which has a painted deck and varnished topsides. A large crowd of spectators is standing on the dock in the background and a young girl is smashing a bottle of champagne at the bow of the boat. One man is standing near the girl and is holding a DYC (Detroit Yacht Club) burgee in his left hand. The photo may have been taken at the Detroit Yacht Club.
