My Dad, Frank Seik (dec'd) was educated at Sun Ship to be a welder in 1941. Worked there until laid off in 1945 or 46. I worked in Ship Repair during the 60s as Mr. Brodhead's secretary. Enjoyed my few years at Sun Ship. Thoroughly enjoyed viewing the whole story of Sun Ship. Thank you for making this video and sharing the story.
The sun workers were also the first to eat HOAGIES. They were made in a deli (DiCostanzo's?) close to the shipyard. Hoagie came from "Hog" Island which is right off the frontage of the shipyard.

Very good informational video.
I used to live in Eddystone and I remember the 3 story homes in the Village being a bit run down in the early 70's.

You mention WG McNees as the first plant engineer. That was my grandfather, Wendell G McNees!
My dad worked there. He was a ship fitter.
