Print, Photographic

One sepia-toned photograph of the fourth international tugboat race on the Detroit River. The photo shows three tugboats underway on a slightly choppy river. The vessels are identified as follows (left to right): ATOMIC of McQueen Marine, Ltd., JOHN ROEN III of the Roen Steamship Company, and SACHEM of the Dunbar & Sullivan Dredging Company. A treed shoreline is visible in the background. An adhesive label with typewritten text on the verso reads "Boats - Races - Tugboats, 5-30-53." An adjacent blue ink stamp reads "Photograph by The Detroit News, Not to Be Published."
