One black and white photograph (and one copy) of the work boat, "JERRY HIGGINS," owned by Oldman Boiler Works, Inc. The boat is moored at a freighter dock near the shoreline which is visible in the lower foreground. The boat decks and adjacent ground have a light covering of snow. Coal piles, conveyors, and steel furnaces can be seen in the background. In the center left background, a Merritt-Chapman & Scott Corporation crane barge is constructing a new steel seawall on one side of a ship channel. Three freighters are moored at a dock on the opposite side of the channel and appear to be laid up for the winter. A typewritten label along the lower edge of the photo reads "Bethlehem Steel Co. - Lackawanna, New York, 1953, Ore and Steel Handling Facilities."
