Detroit Entering Ferry Michigan Slip
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of a car ferry, the Michigan Central, gracefully entering the slip on the Detroit River in the late 1800s. The Michigan Central Ferry Company, a pioneer in automobile transportation, played a significant role in connecting the cities of Detroit, Michigan, and Windsor, Ontario, long before the construction of the Ambassador Bridge and the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel. This photograph, taken in the 1880s, showcases the elegance and simplicity of the ferry's design. The ferry, adorned with intricate details and ornate decorations, effortlessly glides towards the dock, ready to welcome its passengers and their vehicles. The Detroit River, with its calm, mirror-like surface, reflects the beauty of the scene, adding to the serene atmosphere. The Michigan Central Ferry Company was a vital link between the two cities, enabling the seamless transportation of people and goods. The car ferry's arrival marked the beginning of a new era in transportation, paving the way for the development of more advanced methods of crossing the Detroit River. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of automobile transportation in the United States and the ingenuity of the people who made it possible. It invites us to appreciate the beauty of the past while reminding us of the incredible progress that has been made since then.
