Visual Materials
An album of progress photographs of shipbuilding projects by the Southwestern Shipbuilding Company in San Pedro, California. The images are dated April 16 to October 16, 1918, and include views of mold lofts for ship hulls; workers, including many African American workers; lumber, steel, and other building materials. The photographs are chiefly 7.5 x 9.5 inches, with several fold-out panoramas of the shipyard. Signs can be seen identifying the ships being built: the S.S. West Carnifax, S.S. West Caruth, and S.S. West Catance, which were all cargo ships built for the U.S. Navy.
