Title: USNS Josiah Willard Gibbs (T-AGOR-1)
Description: Crewman lashing a spare anchor to the cable guide for the ship's deep-sea winch. The cable guide appears to have received much hard use since its installation in around 1959, and the anchor was probably needed to provide it additional strength and rigidity. The cable guide supported the cable between the tractor winch, visible behind the crewman, and the O frame on the ship's stern. U.S. Naval History and Heritage Command Photograph, from the Military Sealift Command Collection.
