Photo #: NH 43167  Victory Destroyer Plant, Bethlehem Shipbuilding Corporation, Squantum, Massachusetts
Title: Victory Destroyer Plant, Bethlehem Shipbuilding Corporation, Squantum, Massachusetts
Description: Interior of the wet slips, with USS Lardner (Destroyer # 286, builder's Hull # 366) fitting out at right. Further to the right, with smokestacks barely visible behind the building framework, is USS Putnam (Destroyer # 287, builder's Hull # 367), which is also fitting out. Note barrels, mountings, shields and base rings for 4/50 guns, in the foreground, and warning signs. The largest of the latter, at right, forbids smoking due to the presence of fuel oil. Smaller signs state: Coal Shortage Every leak in air lines Means Waste of Coal. Some of the material present is marked for Hull 370 (USS Dale, Destroyer # 290). Photograph probably taken circa 18 November 1919. U.S. Naval History and Heritage Command Photograph.
