The shipbuilding docks at Leathem D. Smith Shipbuilding Company was served by numerous industry tracks of the AHW. Sturgeon Bay became a very busy shipbuilding city during the Second World War. This photo shows the trackage around Leathem D. Smith Shipbuilding Company (later Christy Corporation, now Bay Shipbuilding Company) in 1944, a few years before the Ahnapee & Western branch was sold by the Green Bay & Western and began operations as an independent railroad. Several war ships are under construction on three docks extending into the Sturgeon Bay Ship Canal. The AHW served the shipbuilding docks from numerous tracks. This photo was reduced from a very high-resolution scan. Related photos & stuff:
