Wendy The Welder & Co.


Rivet Head posted this presumably World War II photo showing a group of women war workers - welders by the look of their helmets, gloves and the acetylene torch in one of their hands.  Although I cannot be certain, they appear to work in a shipyard, in light of the structures around them.
