Description:

Sepia-toned photograph of workers plating the hull of Eagle Boat No. 37 within building "B" of the Ford River Rouge Factory Complex, as taken from above its port bow. Much of its bow, and a strip along the center of its side are plated. A group of men work on wooden platforms spanning the tops of the boat's framing. Another Eagle Boat is under construction in the background, and the keel of a third is being prepared off the starboard side of No. 37. Pieces of framing are piled along the wall on the left. "25632-2-3-19, #37" is printed in the lower left corner of the recto. The photo is mounted on a linen backing.
