Description:

Sepia-toned photograph of progress attaching the framing and bulkheads to the keel of Eagle Boat No. 45 within building "B" of the Ford River Rouge Factory Complex, as taken from above its starboard bow. Workers standing on the boat's carriage position a frame near the bow, as a group of workers work near the boat's midsection on its port side work from atop a board spanning the top of several frame pieces. Another Eagle Boat is being plated in the background. A large piece of plating leans against a column on the right. Shelves and crates of materials, and a tool crib are visible in the adjacent aisle to the right."#45 11:46 A.M. 25858-2-20-19," is printed in the lower left corner of the recto, and "framing at bow nearing completion," is handwritten on the verso. The photo is mounted on a linen backing.
