Marystown Shipyard

Steaming the Planks:

This is the Marystown Shipyard during the longliner construction phase, between 1959 and 1966. In the foreground you can see the oil-fired steam boiler. The planks were placed in the long steam chamber for several hours until they were pliable and could be bent easily to fit the curve of a ship.
