EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph captured by Howard Hollem in 1942, a Coast Guard sentry stands tall, diligently watching over a new torpedo boat under construction at a bustling southern shipyard. The image offers a glimpse into the vibrant boat industry of mid-20th century America. The shipyard, located in New Orleans, Louisiana, was operated by Higgins Industries Inc. , renowned for its production of both wooden and steel boats for the Navy. As war raged on during World War II, these shipyards played a crucial role in supplying naval vessels to support the country's military efforts. Amidst the backdrop of towering cranes and scattered machinery, the sentry symbolizes unwavering dedication and vigilance. His presence serves as a reminder of the countless men who worked tirelessly to construct these vital vessels that would navigate treacherous waters during wartime. Hollem's skillful composition captures not only the physicality of this moment but also evokes an atmosphere filled with determination and resilience. The image transports us back to an era when manufacturing industries thrived and united Americans rallied together to protect their nation's shores. This photograph from Howard Hollem is not just a still image frozen in time; it represents an important chapter in American history – one where ordinary men became heroes through their contributions to national defense.
