  • NOAA Abandoned and Derelict Vessel Case Study
    NOAA Abandoned and Derelict Vessel Case Study Fordson Island Debris Removal and Habitat Restoration Contributor: Sally Petrella (Friends of the Rouge) and Timothy McGahey (AKT Peerless) Project Overview Reason for project: The overall goal was to initiate the restoration of the natural onshore and offshore habitat in the oxbow around Fordson Island. Date initiated: August 2010 Project duration: 21 months Project Location Location: Rouge River, Dearborn/Detroit, MI Site Name(s): Fordson Island Oxbow General description of location: In the oxbow around Fordson Island, a six acre island in the Rouge River. Vessels were in the channel, on the banks of the island and on the banks of the adjacent shoreline. Average Site Depth: 2 ft. Habitat/Substrate Type Impacted: soft bottom, wild celery (Vallisneria americana). Shoreline dominated by reed canary grass (Phragmites australis). Jurisdictions: Cities of Dearborn (island) and Detroit (adjacent land), Wayne County, State of Michigan Project Narrative History: The approximately six acre Fordson Island was created in 1917 by the dredging and channeling of the Rouge River to the Ford Motor Company - River Rouge Plant, which is located approximately 1,800-feet upstream. The Ford Motor Company was contracted during World War I to build submarine chasers (known as Eagle Boats) at the plant. The dredging provided a deeper channel allowing these newly constructed boats a means to travel down the Rouge River into the deeper water of the Detroit River. This excavation removed the adjoining properties to the north and east, and created the unique feature of this land – the island is located within the limits of the City of Dearborn, but land access is provided via a bridge from the City of Detroit.

  • River Rouge, Detroit
    River Rouge, Detroit A Speak Out Now pamphlet The Strike at River Rouge: 1941 In 1941, tens of thousands of autoworkers at the Ford River Rouge complex in Dearborn, Michigan, overcame many obstacles to build a union from the bottom up and to win a strike that had a strong potential to turn into a "race riot." This is a history filled with drama, heroism, and excitement, a political milestone for U.S. workers, in which class consciousness overcame racism. Henry Ford was a boss who knew how to alternate the carrot and the stick. He introduced a $5 a day minimum wage in 1914, before others in auto and put out countless publications filled with paternalistic advice. On the other hand, starting in 1919, he set up the Ford Service, the largest private police force in the world -- around 3000 gangsters, ex-convicts, prizefighters, wrestlers, and others. They didn't wear Aerial shot of Ford River Rouge Plant, which was more than 1.5 miles long and included over 93 buildings 1 uniforms or ID.s, and some worked in the plants. They engaged in spying, intimidation, and violence against Ford workers interested in unionization or radical ideas. Between 1937 and 1941, some 4000 workers were fired from Ford plants. Dearborn, where the River Rouge complex was located, was a company town--a feudal estate belonging to Henry Ford. It took until 1940 for the United Automobile Workers Union to even win the legal right to have direct access to Ford workers. Finally, Ford used the policy of divide and conquer to try to split the workforce by nationality and/or race.
