Ships in Ford Rouge Plant Boat Slip at Night, May 1936
THF274184 / Ships in Ford Rouge Plant Boat Slip at Night, May 1936
01
Artifact Overview
Unlike Ford's Highland Park plant, the Rouge enjoyed direct access to Great Lakes marine traffic via the Rouge and Detroit Rivers. Raw materials -- like iron ore for the blast furnaces -- came in by boat, while finished products moved out the same way. Ford ultimately owned more than 30 vessels including barges, tugs, canal boats, ocean-going ships, and lake-going ore boats.
