Black and white photo with the handwritten caption, "Broken Propeller - 'SOUTH AMERICAN' - Dry Dock, Buffalo, N.Y., Sunday, August 20, 1944," depicting six dry dock workers repairing the propeller of the Chicago, Duluth and Georgian Bay Transit Company passenger steamer SOUTH AMERICAN. Two men hold chains suspended from the hull of the ship on either side of the propeller, as another man oversees from a ladder above. A fourth worker steadies the ladder, and two more are visible at the floor of the dry dock below.
