Fotografía antigua Segunda Guerra Mundial. Astillero, construcción de barcos

Fotografia de la Segunda Guerra Mundial que recoge el trabajo en unos astilleros para la construccion de buques, construccion que era vital para el mantenimiento del suministro de todo tipo de materiales para el Reino Unido, una isla.

La foto lleva por título, en cierto modo poético título, propio de la propaganda del momento

Hitler hace lo peor, ellos hacen lo mejor

Al dorso comenta la foto con el siguiente texto:

Hitler does his worst. These do their best

Mr Churchill could have pointed to British shipbuilders as an example of what he meant when he used the above words in his recent speech , and how their magnificent offerts are to be supported by the biggest shipbuilding programme ever planned by the United States . We are on the road to victory.This latest picture shows : Hoisting plates into position on the top deck or a new ship nearing completion  in a British shipyard.
