Description: From its opening in 1801, America’s first Naval Base & Shipyard stood tall amongst the giants of the industry. Many prominent ships, such as the USS Biddle in 1986, made their way through the South Philly shipyard. This 14-page Special Section of the Philadelphia Inquirer was published on September 11, 1995 and covered the history, the recent times, and the future of the shipyard from all angles — employees, community, and cultural significance. It’s an excellent look back and study on Philadelphia’s role in U.S. military, defense, and shipbuilding, in addition to the local business advertisements and more that you’d expect in a nearly 30-year-old newspaper. This purchase allows you to hold on to a significant piece of Philadelphia’s history for a very reasonable price. Please see the pictures included here for the exact newspaper that you will receive upon purchase. It is in nearly-perfect, off-the-rack condition with sharp corners and edges and no significant creases, rips, markups, or other defects or signs of heavy use or aging. The newspaper has had only one owner through the years and has been stored in a plastic tub in a climate-controlled and smoke-free home. If you have additional questions or need additional pictures, please feel free to ask.
