On the Shipway - April 6, 1911
This is the first image of the Lydonia II in the Pusey and Jones Corporation Photograph Collection. The keel lays on wooden blocks surrounded by scaffolding on shipway no. 1, the westernmost in Pusey and Jones's Wilmington shipyard. The yacht's bow will eventually point inland, away from the camera, so that it can be launched stern first into the Christina River.
