Examples

“To my mind, it appears obvious in the context of total shipwork, the private shipyards are doing very well indeed. It is true that with the dwindling size of the Navy, there will be less repair work.”
“On the Chickahominy, the Hazelwood brothers' fish house at Hicks Island and the Menzel brothers' fish house near the old shipyard thrived by serving local and distant markets. As late as 1977, a Publick Observer article boasted, "If you are served turtle soup in Atlanta or catfish in Ft. Wayne, Ind., chances are good that the main ingredients came from the waters of the James or the Chickahominy."”
