The Library of Congress Steel workers in Denver I claim no rights other than colorizing this image if you wish to use let me know Title Denver, Colorado. Twenty-four hours a day the sparks from acetylene torches of steel workers in eight Denver fabricating plants are flying thick and fast that the U.S. Navy may carry the battle to the enemy in all parts of the world. Here in secluded Denver, the world's largest city not on a navigable waterway, this war production worker, who has never seen a battleship or an ocean, fashions the steel hull parts which are being assembled at Mare Island Navy Yard--1,200 miles from where he and his fellow wokers are on the job to help "keep 'em sailling."

You did an exceptional job on colorizing the sparks from the welder Rob. I can't imagine it being done any better.
A good example of how the US united during the war.

Long before the white man and long before the wheel, when the dark green forests were too silent to be real. Lightfoot 1967

Within a year it's likely this guy had enlisted, possibly in the Navy to serve in a ship he helped build. Instead of him in the shot it would have been a woman, one of thousands hired to take the place of men and finally find their way out of the kitchen and into the workforce, and so the revolution in America's workforce began, pushed along by the needs of war.
