Midnight Lunch: 1943
May 1943. "Bethlehem-Fairfield shipyards, Baltimore, Maryland. The canteen building at night." Acetate negative by Arthur Siegel for the Office of War Information. View full size.
Don't Slow Up The Ship!
Paging Edward Hopper
This has that Hopperesque quality in black and white.
Avoid the line!
Given the size of this "lunch room," I assume that most of the 27,000 employees brought their sandwiches from home.
Lunch Minutes
The schedule is tight. Open only 30 minutes for normal lunchtime, 11:30 to noon, then only 20 minutes for later shifts: 7:30 to 7:50 p.m. and 3 to 3:20 a.m. No dawdling on this job.
