Unidentified ship probably about to be launched
Crowd of well dressed men, women and children stand on the dock below; a group of half a dozen men and women are gathered above the crowd on a makeshift podium with American flags flying from it. A few men are on the ship's deck looking over at the crowd. American flags are fastened on the bow, perpendicular to one another. Nautical flags fly above the deck. Possibly a ship built at the Pacific American Fisheries (PAF) Shipyard at Commercial Point for the Emergency Fleet Corporation during WWI. The ship in photo 3043 is probably the same one after its launch.
