Printed on back: "The above photo shows two sections of a stern frame for one of the five C-4 Mariner-type ships to be built at Bethlehem Pacific's San Francisco Shipyard being welded together by means of a thermit weld. Too large to be cast in one piece, the huge 39 1/2-ton cast-steel frame is made in three sections which are welded together by the thermit method. A completed weld can already be seen at the right in the lower section of the frame near the hub.".
