The launching of the Washington (BB-47),at the New York Shipbuilding Corporation shipyard, Camden, New Jersey, 1 September 1921.
Photographed by the Aero Service Corporation, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Colorado (BB-45) is fitting out in the wet basin at the end of the covered shipways building. The two 535-foot passenger liners fitting out in the upper left are S.S. Southern Cross, converted later as the Wharton (AP-7), and S.S. Hoosier State.
Washington's construction ceased in February 1922, under the terms of the Naval Limitations Treaty, and she was sunk as a target in 1924.

Inscription: "Bird's Eye View of New York Shipbuilding Corporation, Camden, N.J." Copyright 1921, this view shows all the elements of the World War I expansion, as well as Yorkship Village rising from the former Cooper farm at top center. The Yard looked much like this when the Washington (BB-47) was constructed here. Colorado is fitting out in the wet basin at the end of the covered shipways building. Two 535-foot passenger liners are also fitting out, in the upper left of the photo.
