  This is perhaps the nicest historical pic I've dug up yet.

1943... Thank God that that bit of murderous, ugly and hateful shit is behind us now.

  you would be surprised at the logevity of these kind of hulls that were riveted, the lap joints on the steel were a lot less susceptible to damage in the seaway, especially the stresses of locking. there are quite a few left, the new welded steel hulls have a much shorter lifespan and it isnt unusual to have them go into drydock after 20 years for a forebody replacement
