Summary edit

Description Lot-3452-13: In shipbuilding, as in many another vital war industry, the talents of American women are aiding Uncle Sam’s drive against the Axis. Ann Herbolic, left, and Julian Mesic, two gifted members, built these wooded scale models to test some new developments in the technique of prefabricating ships in huge units. Delivered at the rate of one a day – and soon by twos and threes – American built Liberty Ships assembled in this fashion are speeding tanks, planes, guns and supplies to the Allies. At the Richmond Shipbuilding Corporation’s yard in Richmond, California, where these two women are employed, scores of Liberty Ships are being mass produced for the Maritime Commission’s new 18,000,000-ton Victory Fleet.
