The Seeandbee was one of the largest passenger steamers built for Great Lakes service, and this view shows the workforce that helped bring it together, with men leaving the vessel's hull at the end of a shift. The ship was constructed at Ecorse, Michigan, near Detroit, in the years just before World War I. The Detroit Publishing Company traveled widely to document industrial sites and waterfronts, and its photographs preserve a useful record of the shipyard labor behind such vessels. The caption card gives no date, so the exact moment this picture was taken remains uncertain.
