Additional Description: An 1898 view of Union Iron Works, looking south. Prominent in the middle ground are the massive machine shops, on today's 20th Street. Ships are being assembled under the sheds along the waterfront to the right, while an older ship that still used auxiliary sail power is hoisted onto a floating drydock. The artist has used his imagination to include examples of modern steel ships built by the shipyard in the foreground, although all of them would not have been there at the same time.
