Shipbuilding. "Liberty" ships. Red-hot, this steel plate is shaped on the mold to form a stern section for a member of the "Liberty Fleet," under construction at a large Eastern shipyard. The work is being done at a nearby plant formerly used for the building of freight cars. All parts are prefabricated in this huge Eastern plant which formerly turned out freight cars. The completed sections are then carried six miles to the ways on flat cars. Bethlehem-Fairfield Shipyards Inc., Baltimore, Maryland
