Scope and content
This was how the Tacoma yard of the Seattle-Tacoma Shipbuilding Corporation appeared in October of 1941. The view was looking southeast and showed the yard's enlargement under the US Maritime Commission facilities contract. Under construction were five additional new ways, more dockage space and expanded fabrication facilities. All were expected to be completed in 1942. After expansion, the shipyard would employ over 8,000 persons. TPL-9953
