More photo of the "Bulkoceanic"
Mr. Don Wright wrote to me :
Hello Auke,
I have some photos that you may be interested in. My father was a shipfitter at Welding Shipyard in Norfolk, Virginia back in the 1940’s.
Photography was his hobby and he took lots of photos of the ships he helped build there in the yard. I believe they are of historical
interest and so I have created a website to exhibit his photos. But I’m sure they would get much more exposure on your great website and I hope you will take and make use of them. If you do use them please give credit to my father, Thomas Fred Wright Jr.
