1942Boston Naval Shipyard aerial view c1942
Aerial view of The South Boston Naval Annex, Massachusetts (USA). The photo was probably taken between October and December 1942, when RMS Queen Mary was being repaired at Boston after she had collided with (and sunk) the light cruiser HMS Curacoa (D41) on 2 October 1942. Queen Mary is most probably the ship visible in the dry dock at right. The troop transport USS Wakefield (AP-21) is most probably the ship in the upper right, being razed after her fire in September 1942.
