    This picture ran in the January, 1918 number of The Water Tower, with the description: "THE LAYING OF THE FIRST KEEL On Thursday December 20th [1917] at the Newark Bay Shipyard the first rivet was driven in the first standardized structural steel ship ever built. [...] The picture shows Mr John Hunter, representative of the United States Shipping Board, driving the first rivet after the center vertical keelson had been put in place. The gentleman standing immediately behind Mr Hunter in this picture is Mr Henry R Sutphen, vice president of the Submarine Boat Corporation and the man to whom credit for the production of the standardized structural steel ship is due." books.google.com/books?id=FAY0AQAAMAAJ&pg=PA48&lp...

    Art Siegel: thanks for finding the matching published image and for identifying Mr John Hunter and Henry R Sutphen at the Newark Bay Shipyard ceremony. We will add more information to both these images when we update.
