French Line's freighter Winnepeg is shown in drydock at the Todd Shipyards Division, San Pedro. To look at vessel as in shots Nos. 1 & 2, she presents no indication of the teeming work going under her. In early December, the ship struck a submerged object which opened her bottom 343 feet and forced her to return from Acapulco to San Pedro where local yard was successful bidder for one of biggest repair jobs in port's history. Nos. 1 & 2: French Line's Winnepeg. No. 3: Julian Palacios is shown 'buring out' old rivets so that new plates may be installed in ship at the 'turn of the bilge'. No. 4: The telephone is vital necessity in ship repair. Here Lynn Meloy, leaderman, talks to men inside ship who are uncoupling shaft so that propellor shaft may be taken out of shaft tunnel. Meloy's job is to tell men inside ship when to turn and when to stopping turning shaft. On top of scaffolding, left, Joe Hanley, and Elza Rosner, machinists, are removing bolts which hold propellor in place. 5: Undamaged parts of ship get cleaning. Rosalio Barragan, is shown chipping at rust with neumatic chisel. He is shown through hole called 'limber hole' cut into the trans-framing near ship's keelson to allow water to low fore-and-aft. 6 & 7: Chester Hoff, and O.M. Solider, anglesmiths, straighten bottom plates that do not have to be removed. Solider is looking behind plate to watch straightening of plate. Strap out side is guide for straightening. Plates are heated then pounded by heavy air hammer men are holding. 7: J.C. Smith, nearest camera, and B.O. Patterson, marking lines for trimmers to follow on cross frames. 9: O.C. Calder 'burning out' damaged angle frame preparatory to installing new angle frames to which 'skin' of ship will be welded".

本数据集包含9张影像资料，记录了法国航运公司（French Line）货轮“温尼伯”号（Winnipeg）的维修工程，该项目合同额达45万美元，拍摄于1952年1月11日。出镜及参与人员包括Julian Palacios、Lynn Meloy、Joe Hanley、Elza Rosner、Rosalio Barragan、Chester Hoff、O.M. Solider、J.C. Smith、B.O. Patterson与O.C. Calder。

附带补充说明原文如下：“《格申》城市版配图，供周一刊发。船舶维修工程：总价45万美元的维修项目！图中法国航运公司的“温尼伯”号货轮正停靠在圣佩德罗市托德造船厂（Todd Shipyards Division）的干船坞（drydock）内。从第1、2张图片的外观来看，完全无法察觉船体下方正开展着密集的维修作业。1951年12月初，该船因撞击水下障碍物，导致船底343英尺长度范围出现破损，被迫从阿卡普尔科返航圣佩德罗，当地船厂凭借竞标拿下了该港历史上规模最大的维修项目之一。
第1、2张：法国航运公司“温尼伯”号货轮。
第3张：Julian Palacios正在烧除旧铆钉，以便在舭部（turn of the bilge）安装新船板。
第4张：通讯是船舶维修工作的关键保障。图中领班Lynn Meloy正与船内作业人员通话，指挥其解开传动轴以将螺旋桨轴从轴隧（shaft tunnel）中取出。Meloy的职责是告知船内人员启停传动轴的时机。左侧脚手架顶端的Joe Hanley与Elza Rosner为机械师，正在拆卸固定螺旋桨的螺栓。
第5张：对船体未受损部位开展清洁作业。出镜人员为Rosalio Barragan，他正使用气动凿（neumatic chisel）铲除锈蚀。拍摄视角取自船体内龙骨（keelson）附近横向框架（trans-framing）上开设的泄水孔（limber hole），该孔洞用于允许积水沿船体首尾方向流通。
第6、7张：Chester Hoff与O.M. Solider为角钢工，正在矫正无需拆卸的船底板。Solider正站在钢板后方观察钢板的矫正进度，外侧的角钢作为矫正定位导向。作业流程为先对钢板加热，再由操作人员借助重型气动锤进行锤击矫正。
第7张：J.C. Smith（靠近镜头者）与B.O. Patterson正在横梁（cross frames）上标记修割参照线。
第9张：O.C. Calder正在烧除受损的角铁框架，以便安装新的角铁框架，后续将把船体外板（skin of ship）焊接至该新框架上。”
