ImageID 40-359	ImageID 40-492 (1961) Hydraulic oyster tongs in operation in the Patuxent River off Solomons Island. An invention of W. E. Barrett, of Lusby, they enable tonging to be done by one man, whereas patent tongs require two or three men to a boat. The hydraulic ones also reach down much further than others- to 70 feet. They bring up four times as many oysters as traditional tongs.

ImageID 43-299 (1943) Amphibious Warfare on the Chesapeake. Tank carrier (LST) lands bulldozers on Cove Point. Bull dozers are important in allied invasion techniques because they make smooth roads across sandy beaches and save much time and energy by towing supplies and ammunition on sledges- the kind farmers use to tow rocks out of their fields.	ImageID 43-300 (1943) Amphibious Warfare. After men have landed ammunition and supplies must come rapidly. The little landing barges carry big loads and men ashore unload it in lines like a fire bucket brigade.- its fast work and saves energy	ImageID 43-301 (1943) Amphibious Warfare. Soon after comes the bulldozers- to scrape roads through the sand and haul big loads of ammunition across the beach into the dunes	ImageID 43-302 (1943) Amphibious Warfare. Among the waeapons and vehicles the big ships bring are hald tracks armed with ati-aircraft guns. Here is a scene showing how they are used. Their tracks and wheels are put in trenches to lower the bodies and steady them.

They are salvaged and piled up like this to be used on another day.	ImageID 43-954	ImageID 44-028 (1949) Tobacco field, Calvert County. Ultimately all of this will go up in smoke.
