- Description:
- One sepia-toned photograph of the sidewheel passenger steamship, SS Seeandbee, being launched sideways at the Detroit Dry Dock Company. The photo shows a starboard side stern view of the hull as it slides off the ways and creates a large splash of water along the starboard side. Carpentry work for main deck cabin areas has been roughed in, but the upper decks and cabin structures have not yet been started. Many workmen are standing along the taffrail of the ship and a large crowd of onlookers can be seen on the dock in the foreground. A gantry crane trestle is visible in the background area of the shipyard. Also, a tugboat is standing by just beyond the bow of the newly-launched ship. Handwritten pencil text on the verso shows "Seeandbee launch Nov. 9, 1912."
