Ford Motor Company Ship "East Indian" Docked at Jacksonville, Florida, 1935
01
Artifact Overview
Henry Ford added the East Indian to his company's growing fleet of merchant vessels in early 1925. Ford had the ship refitted and two diesel engines installed. Too long to pass through the St. Lawrence River canal system, the ship joined Ford's two other ocean-going freighters in delivering vehicles and parts to Ford plants around the world.
