Fore River Shipbuilding Company shipyard, Quincy, Massachusetts
Destroyers fitting out on 20 June 1918.
USS Murray (Destroyer # 97) is in the foreground, with
USS Stribling (Destroyer # 96) outboard. In the middle
distance are USS Bell (Destroyer # 95), with USS Dyer
(Destroyer # 84) inboard of her. These four destroyers had builder's
hull numbers 303, 302, 301 and 279, respectively, and these numbers
are painted in small numerals on the ships' bows.
A submarine is on the building ways in the background, under
the large crane. It is probably USS S-1 (Submarine # 105)
or one of the AA-1 class.
