New York Shipbuilding Corporation shipyard, Camden, New Jersey


Aerial photograph, taken circa July 1919. The sheds on the left cover the original North Yard. The light colored gantries in the center are at the pre-World War I Middle Yard. The open ways and the three-bay shed to their right are the Destroyer Yard built for the Navy in 1917. The four open ways further to the right were added during World War I for constructing transports.
The large transport fitting out beside the transport ways (in the photograph's right center) is either Southern Cross (later USS Wharton, AP-7), or American Legion (later U.S. Navy AP-35 and APA-117). The transport fitting out to the left is Wenatchee (later USS Henry T. Allen, AP-30 and APA-15). Many incomplete destroyers are also present.
