A bit of WWII nostalgia here. A film produced by Kaiser Premanente ( now a Health insurer) at the end of the war describing their vast output of vessels for the war effort. Henry Kaiser developed the mass production of ships in Richmond Ca. A sleepy little town that eventually was home to the largest ship production facility in the world in just a few years. They produced a total of 757 seagoing vessels in four years. Most being Liberty and Victory class freighters. Their methods were groundbreaking and still impressive by today,s standards. The film is quite detailed and shows the constuction of a Victory ship from start to finish. https://youtube/watch?v=x8RszOQwWGY
