McMurdo NAS. This is a Jamesway hut being erected on the
barrier ice. It took the SeaBees
about six hours to erect five buildings for the 61st. This new camp was convenient to the
aircraft. Hot meals were cooked
by Navy cooks. Drinking water
was transported in 500 gallon containers on sleds from the snow melting
machines at the McMurdo Navy base.
The men were allowed one shower a week, for which they had to travel
seven miles to the Navy base. .Caption by Bill Nichols. (Circa 1959) |
