Ever hear of the FSA? A photo project associated with it is described at:
http://www.loc.gov/pictures/collection/fsa/
Search it with terms like torpedo, PT boat, etc. and find a few shots of the Higgins plant. Seen these before anywhere else?
Sometimes they have good scans; other times, not so much... but good copies could be had from the Library if needed, I suppose.

A veritable feast for C.J., Jerry, and all the Higgins crewmen and fans!
Love these classic vintage photos -- thanks, Pat.

Nice find! I really like the shed painted logo "BAYOU BOATWORKS"!
Take care,

And there are more at the linked site... search on "higgins", and find more shots of men working on boats, with some nice details.
