On that woman on the right. She’s got the whole Rosie the Riveter thing going on: headscarf, coveralls, polished nails, moxie. I would ask her out, have her teach my kids in school, trust her to fix the brakes on my car. She’s the kind of woman who is the firm backbone of the nation.

I think that the boots of the lady sitting on the steel plate have been resoled at least once.

A rather odd way of opening the milk containers. We were taught as kid to open one of the folded in ends into a spout shape. I've never seen anyone open the entire top of the container in my 73 years.

Lots going on in this great photo. The ladies have used the torch lying betwixt them to warm up something in the lunch bag. Done that myself. Something rarely seen today is that pair of boots the serious one on the right. Not the boots themselves, but the fact that they have been both reheeled and half-soled. Tried to find a shoe repairman lately?

And, while we are on the subject of clothing repair, the diner on the left may have to fix the seat of her britches after an afternoon of being exposed -- that box under her sure has a lot of nails protruding just under her tender fanny.

Between 1941 and 1945, the Fairfield yard built a total of 384 Liberty ships, more than any other shipyard in the nation. The yard also built 94 Victory ships—the larger, faster cousin to the Liberty ships—and 45 LSTs (Landing Ship-Tank), making it one of America’s most productive wartime shipyards.

Wonderfully detailed photo - the thing I wonder is why the milk cartons were opened completely like that? The only thing I can think is that it makes it easier to stuff in the remains of the lunch when the whistle sounds. When I was a kid in the 1960s we'd usually just open one side to make a spout.
