Orange hulls are seen amidst the blue cranes and scaffolding of a busy shipyard. With the Emergency Fleet Corporation rushing to put as many ships into the water as possible at the outset of World War I, this image, with its impressive display of technological might must have struck pride in the hearts of American workers. This is the larger format. Theofiles 270, Rawls p. 186-87.
