Original Title: Str. no. 190, main engine in shop, 3 cyln. compound-inclined type, [probably in Wyandotte, Mich.
Location: 1801-1803 Atwater Street in Detroit, Michigan
This very large thing, is a chunk of the main engine for a steam ship. They are currently inspecting the parts before it goes on board. The guys in the back are the workers that made it, and will probably never get the credit for their work.
This building, The Detroit Dry Dock Company, just barely exists today, I think it was made in 1840 or so, and they built many steam ships inside of it. By 2014, the building stood proud, despite the broken windows and graffiti it was covered with. They since turned this building into something else, while keeping a little bit of this factory intact.
