Ford Rouge Plant "B" Building Shipyard Construction, 1918
01
Artifact Overview
Henry Ford began buying land near the mouth of the Rouge River in 1915. Ford was thinking of future expansion. His new property was on level ground, near multiple railroad lines, and -- after dredging -- within navigable reach of the Detroit River and the Great Lakes. In 1918, the site became home to Ford's Eagle anti-submarine patrol boat factory.
