Monochromatic glass-plate negative taken of a photographic print depicting the starboard side of the George Hall Coal Company freighter F.P. JONES, with a deck-load of lumber. One figure stands at the bow, four stand by or sit on the aft cabin, and seven pose atop the pile of lumber on deck. A smokestack and rows of small buildings are visible on the shoreline in the background. "W.A. McDonald, 12323 Washburn Ave. Detroit, Mich," was stamped on the non-archival envelope which previously held this plate. Also on the envelope was a handwritten note which read:
