"Newport News, Virginia. A small section of the shipyard, showing an overhead
travelling ('Gantry') crane in the foreground. There are two ways on which
ships are being built visible in the picture. The ship at far background is

(corrected text) (the America was also built here; it
served as troop transport USS West Point 1941-1946; it's now a sunken wreck
in the Canary Islands)
