One sepia-toned photograph of the launching of the cargo ship, LAKE BELNONA (Hull #133), at the Saginaw Ship Building Company yard in Bay City, Michigan. The photo shows a port side view of the ship as it moves sideways off the slipway and into the water with a large splash. Workmen and visitors are standing on the dock and ship to view the launching. A small island and timber pilings are visible in the Saginaw River in the foreground. Handwritten text in the lower right corner reads "Saginaw Ship Bldg. Co., E.F.C. [Emergency Fleet Corporation] #412, Yard #133, 10/17/18, Bowers Photo."
