Description Colorized photo from 1905 JuneOriginal Title: Repairing a lake carrier after a collisionPhotographer: Detroit PublishingLocation: Calumet River, at 101st Street, Chicago,IL This is the Chicago shipbuilding company. They built and repaired many ships over the years. Though by today's standards their methods were both curious and some what dangerous. OSHA would not approve I'm betting. The ship we see here today, is the SS Sylvania, built by the West Bay City Ship Building company, and launched on March 18th 1905. It entered service on April 1905, then crashed into another ship on June 12th 1905. In fact over the years it crashed into a number of vessels. But in this case there was a mix up on the passing signals. This ship had around another 6 accidents over the years, it was lengthened as well. The name changed 3 times from Sylvania to Philbin, back to Sylvania. Her last journey was on May 10th 1980, and later scrapped in 1983. Coincidentally, this company was also scrapped in 1983.Their method of repair was to remove all the bad parts, leaving an interesting cross section of what they looked like inside. Piles of scrap metal litter the ground outside, and they are using cutting torches. You can see one manifold on the ground, connected to a half dozen, very long hoses, so they can remove parts. That yellow thing was a very large crane.
Mike Savad, Westfield, NJ Member Since August 2009 Artist Statement My name is Mike Savad, I create one of a kind creations. Photo realistic is what people think of first. There are many themes, flowers, porches, and local Suburban Scenes, some city, some urban. I also have many Job inspired images that cover a quite a range. If your looking for a gift for your Pharmacist, Doctor, Dentist, Lawyer, Barber, Gardner, Fireman etc, there should be something there for you. These will look very nice hanging on your wall, or in a waiting room, even a hotel room. My art is inspired by Norman Rockwell and Paintings from the time of the Renaissance.
