This picture was taken at Southwest Boat of the largest dragger being built at Southwest Boat Corp. The keel has been stretched.
Ralph Stanley said this was the Judith Lee Rose. Notice the wharf on the side has been planked over to give some protection from the wind. This is a winter picture because there is snow on the ground. Workmen worked outdoors in all kinds of weather.
