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

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

Great photo, but does it really take three men to inspect one wheel?
AV8TER said:
If your life depended on it how many people would you want inspecting it?
Graeme Smith said:
Wow, those of seriously big wheels!
Fantastical Quill said:
Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Ypsilanti, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

They're inspecting the landing gear for a Ford built B-24 Liberator. Ford built B-24's under contract from Consolidated Aircraft. Willow Run was and still is located just outside of Ypsilanti, Michigan. The assembly facility was owned and operated by Ford.
