Description:

Sepia-toned photograph of progress made in the plating of the hull of Eagle Boat No. 44 within building "B" of the Ford River Rouge Factory Complex, as taken from above its starboard bow. Ladders are leaned against the bow plate section, as a worker hunches over the keel where the bow plates are being attached. A worker stands beside the keel which is under construction for another Eagle Boat on the left. Yet another Eagle Boat is under construction in the background. Coat racks, shelves, and piles of materials are along the wall on the right. "#44 3:42 P.M. 25869-2-20-19," is printed in the lower left corner of the recto. The photo is mounted on a linen backing.
