Scope and content
The Earl of Athlone, left, Governor-general of Canada, jovially speaks with employees during his May 4, 1943 tour of the Tacoma yards of the Seattle-Tacoma Shipbuilding Corp. He and his wife, HRH Princess Alice, were making a "Goodwill" tour of the American war making industries. A visit that was scheduled to last 30 minutes extended into three times that length as the pair toured the shipyard. (Sea-Tac Keel, Vol. 1, No. 7, pg. 3; May 8, 1943 issue)
