Description

Black and white photo of a barge under construction. In the foreground is a railway over which plywood sheets have been laid. In the center of the image is a series of metal frames which will be inside the barge. Two individuals are visible working on the barge. A chain that is probably part of a hoist is hanging above the barge. Above the barge is some wooden framework. There is a white border on all sides, and in the bottom border is "#2222 5/12/41 ?". On the back is "605". The photo is inserted, along with a negative of the image, into a cream colored envelope that has typed "5/12/41 ? Olympia End View of Frames of Small Steel Barge under construction by the Reliable Welding Works". Stamped is "2222" and "indexed".
