The City-County Building (now called the Coleman A. Young Municipal Center) can be seen under construction near the right side of the photo. The ship with the dark-colored hull at the left side of the photo is the "Eastern States" which was owned by the Detroit & Cleveland Navigation Company. The ship with the white hull near the center of the photo is the "North American" of the Chicago, Duluth & Georgian Bay Transit Company (Georgian Bay Line).
