1. My name is Barney Maddox my father welded for J. A. Jones Construction Company, Panama City, FL. In the 40's, building Liberty ships. Electric welding was new at the time I think he told me these were the first ships built by welding instead of rivets. When his number came up for military service he was wavered because he was doing a critical job for the Country already. I'm sending this photo of the Robert Lansing one of the many ships he worked on. This photo was on a bulletin board at the dock and once the ship was launched was given to my father. |
