Veronico. In the frenzied years of World War II, the San Francisco Bay Area was the geographic center of a $6.3 billion West Coast shipbuilding industry. This book examines the 14 Bay Area shipyards - such as Basalt Rock, Bethlehem Steel, Joshua Hendy Iron Works, Marinship, Permanente Metals and others - and the men and women who built the ships in record times. 128 pages; approximately 200 B&W photographs, many previously unpublished; 6½"x 9¼"; softcover.
