Hi, I'm an admin for a group called INDUSTRIA AZUCARERA DE PUERTO RICO - 1898 TO PRESENT (CENTRAL, T, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

I don't like you José you go around amazing imagery for profit purposes. Is sort sad you will come out witch such a prestige name and have that twisted by standards. You are not a nationalized entity so you are falsely representing. I don’t really care who you are but at least form a nonprofit and use the imagery accordingly for conservation and historic purposes.

Who are you directing your comments. To the Library of Congress member of Flickr or to the two brothers, Jose, of the Archivo Historico y Fotografico de P.R.. We do not represent the LOC or have any connection to any other entity. We are posting our personal collection where every item is an original in our collection. Many thousands of more images to be posted. See our website www.archivofotograficodepuertorico.com for more information about us and the Rodriguez Archives Collection.

une superbe photo qui aurait pu être faite chez moi à l'île de la Réunion

Accdg to Wikipedia, the New York's keel was laid on Sept. 11, 1911.

Photo is dated 9/12/11 on the left side.

Thanks roketpad! We'll fix the date in the source data and reload the description.

The first in this set of African-Americans and Caucasians working together. In Texas, no less.

stunning photo! thanks for sharing!!

I remember the Shipyards in Beaumont, Texas. Our next door neighbor worked there in the late 1940's. Looking towards the Neches River and Port of Beaumont, you could see the bright flashes of the welding torches working late into the night. In the 1960's, the Shipyard's employed Radiological Technologist's to take Industrial X-rays of ship welds.

I'm confused. The title says workers leaving the Pennsylvania shipyards and that it was taken in Beaumont, Texas. Typo?

I believe that Pennsylvania was from the company name. See www.coltoncompany.com/shipbldg/ussbldrs/wwii/merchantship... for a bit of history
