Scope and content
This photograph of workers at the Seattle-Tacoma shipyard on Tacoma's tideflats was used as the September 4, 1943 cover for the Labor Day issue of the shipyard newspaper, the Keel. It showed men and women celebrating the holiday by working. "Sea-Tac marching to war. A war of production." More than in any war before or since, defense workers during World War II saw themselves as directly contributing to the war effort and affecting its outcome. TPL-795 (Sea-Tac Keel, Vol. II, No. V, cover; September 4, 1943 issue)
