DescriptionPhotograph, Black and white; Personal horizontal image of a crew member in the oil and water testing lab reaching into the open boiler water test cabinet and manipulating objects within. The crew member has dark hair, light skin, and is clean-shaven. He is wearing a U.S. Navy chambray working shirt with rolled up shirtsleeves, and has a watch on their left wrist. The crew member is holding a white ladle-like receptacle in their right hand, and their left hand is reaching toward the top of one of the bottles in the cabinet. The cabinet itself holds three large bottles and one small, with two more, smaller bottles in clips attached to the inside of the cabinet door. All three large bottles have tubes ending in rubber bulbs protruding from their caps. The leftmost large bottle is obscured by the crewmember’s hand, the center large bottle is dark and opaque, and the rightmost large bottle is full of a clear liquid; the word “Soap” is visible on the rightmost bottle printed in black ink. A set of instructions on the inside of the cabinet door is partially cut off; the visible portion of the header reads “Boiler W,” printed in black ink. There is a white border around the image with “Sep 67” printed in black ink.Back has "2" handwritten in blue ink and a repeating watermark which reads “A Kodak Paper.”
