"I KNOW HE'S GOOD,

I TRAINED HIM

If you think the shipyard business is all nuts and bolts, you're wrong. It's a people business, plain and simple.

The best yards are the ones with the most experi- enced supervisors, and the best-trained workers.

Bill Greenwood, top photo, is a great example. He's one of the last great Coppersmiths in our business.

An artist with copper, galvanized and stainless.

Like most of our key men, Bill's been with us almost forever - about 36 years.

Bill and our other senior people do more than just supervise jobs. They spend years as teachers.

Passing on their skills to younger men like Gene

Stafford. Gene is well on his way to being one of the best. In fact, Gene now does what Bill did, which gives Bill a little more time to fish.

What you get from us is a well-trained, intelligent, motivated work force. And that saves you and us hassles and, especially money

Savannah is Bill Greenwood, Gene Stafford and our other heavy hitters.

Remember, to do a job once - correctly - a yard needs skilled people. Because that is what saves you time and money on your voyage repairs, major conversions, alterations, or drydocking.
