Title: New York Shipbuilding Corporation shipyard, Camden, New Jersey
Description: Aerial photograph, taken circa July 1919. The sheds on the left cover the original North Yard. The light colored gantries in the center are at the pre-World War I Middle Yard. The open ways and the three-bay shed to their right are the Destroyer Yard built for the Navy in 1917. The four open ways further to the right were added during World War I for constructing transports. The large transport fitting out beside the transport ways (in the photograph's right center) is either Southern Cross (later USS Wharton, AP-7), or American Legion (later U.S. Navy AP-35 and APA-117). The transport fitting out to the left is Wenatchee (later USS Henry T. Allen, AP-30 and APA-15). Many incomplete destroyers are also present. U.S. Naval History and Heritage Command Photograph.
