Ship's Carpenters at Work with Radial-Arm Saw, U.S. Navy Vessel, World War II

Ship's Carpenters at Work with Radial-Arm Saw, U.S. Navy Vessel, World War II

Sailors in the ship's carpenter shop operate a power saw to cut lumber for repairs and shipboard projects. Every warship carried skilled tradesmen -- carpenters, machinists, electricians -- whose workshops kept the vessel functioning and its crew supplied with everything from spare parts to furniture, far from any shore-based repair yard.
