Document No 6971: Construction of the Ranger's deck | |||||||||||||||
REF : 0 EDITION : 1937 DATE : 06 Mar 1937 COURSE : 0 DESCRIPTION SITE : High above the shipyard floor, two workers ba!ance nonchalantly on the edge of Ranger‘s hull near her snubnosed bow. The plates of Ranger's all-steel hull were flush-riveted rather than welded, making her srnoother and thus enhancing her speed. Vanderbilt heaped praise on Ranger's builders, who "took infinite pains," he said, to smooth the minutest dents in her plates. NOTES AMERICA-SCOOP :LICENCE : Autorisation en cours |
