Photograph showing a basketball player for the Albina Hellships, Claude “Skeets” O’Connell, facing to the right and passing the ball. The Hellships were sponsored by the Albina Engine & Machine Works shipyard in Portland. The name “O’Connell” is written on the negative and is visible at the bottom of the image. The text “Albina shipbuilding / Basketball / 12/11/43, 1/7/44” is written on the negative. The photograph was probably taken in December 1943, but the exact date is unconfirmed.
