One sepia-toned photograph of the bulk carrier, A. H. FERBERT, at the Great Lakes Engineering Works shipyard in River Rouge, Michigan. The photo shows a stern view of the ship just after its launching. Workmen and spectators can be seen standing along the taffrail. The water surface in the foreground is still turbulent due to the just completed launch. Shipyard docks and gantry cranes can be seen in the left and right background areas of the photo. A black ink stamp at the lower right edge of the photo reads "Leon A. Soncrant, Jr." A black ink stamp on the verso reads "Photograph by Leon A. Soncrant, Jr., 300 Second St., Wyandotte, Mich." Adjacent handwritten black pencil text reads "#10."
