Group of men who were delegates to Washington, D.C., from the New York Shipbuilding company. Martin Horting, marked in the back row with an x, was from Lancaster. He worked as a blacksmith for the company during World War I and helped to build the U. S. S. Idaho, then the Navy's largest battleship. Photo was taken on the White House lawn and shows Horting with other delegates and government officials. A newspaper article about Horting and the event is taped to the back of the photograph.
