Scope and content
Washington Steel & Welding Company. A boat is sitting in the ways building surrounded by scaffolding. Wooden walkways take the workmen to all levels of the boat. Washington Steel & Welding advertised they could provide portable welding and steel fabricating using acetylene and electric welding of all kinds. Both Tacoma Boat Building and Pacific Boat had hulls fabricated by Washington Steel and Welding. The ship's sections, up to 30,000 pounds, were fabricated in the shop, and then brought to the ways for assembling and welding. It took approximately 250 tons of steel for each 112 foot hull.
