Title
English: Battleship Nebraska under construction at Moran Brothers shipyard, Seattle, circa 1903
Description
English:

In 1901, the Moran Brothers shipyard of Seattle won the bid to build one of three battleships for the US Navy. The shipyard underwent major renovations to accommodate the construction of such a large vessel, including the building of a 600 foot long ship shed. This photo shows the construction of the battleship Nebraska inside its construction shed. Over 1,000 workers helped build the ship, which was 441 feet long with a beam of 76 feet. The Nebraska was launched from the Moran Brothers shipyard on October 7, 1904.
