As work on much of the Shipyard progressed, construction of Evansville's first ship, LST 157, was also initiated. The keel of the LST 157 was fabricated by one of the Shipyard's many subcontractors, International Steel of Evansville.

This image depicts the keel constructed at International Steel as it was laid in the building ways of the Evansville Shipyard.
