Title
The Seven Cranes
Description
Accompanying text reads:
"The wonders of modern shipbuilding, at its highest perfection, are to be seen in the fine scene here drawn. On the right a great ship is under construction. From all directions round it the cranes are swinging its plates to their destined places. The whole place presents a rousing spectacle of vast mechanical forces directed by human skill to the achievement of a multitude of difficult and delicate feats unified by one great purpose. It is like the Empire in this war."
