September 27, 2014, SECOND SHIFT: 1943.
April 1943 Traffic jam on the road from Bethehem Fairfield shipyard at Baltimore as the second shift of workers leaves the plant." Majory Collins, Office of War Information (OWI)
Comment from Charles Street: "My maternal grandfather worked a Bethlehem Fairfield shipyard during WWII even though he was a butcher by trade (and bought a small grocery store/ butcher shop after the war with money he made at the shipyard). He commuted by street car."
Plenty of work and money to be made supplying the country with the tools of war.

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
