Big U.S. naval base in Ulster built by American and British workers. Londonderry is now America's premier naval base in Europe. Nearly 800 American technicians with over 2000 local workers built it in six months, all equipment down to the last nut and bolt, coming from the American and British sailors warmly fraternized during the building of the base, which includes receiving and broadcasting stations, a 200 bed hospital, and large camps. Pictures taken when the first American warships escorting a convoy across the Atlantic arrived at Londonberry in January. The white ensign and the Old Glory fly side by side. The photograph was taken at the base, where British and American warships lie along side each other
