This is a construction drawing for a steel camel structure at a U.S. Naval Ship Repair Facility. The document presents detailed architectural and engineering plans for the construction of a steel camel, which is a floating structure used in naval shipyards to support and stabilize vessels during repair operations.

The drawing contains multiple detailed sections and elevations showing the structural design, including deck plans, side views, end frames, and connection details. Key specifications include dimensions of approximately 30'-0" in length and 25'-0" in width, with detailed welding specifications (T-welds, V-welds) and material designations throughout. The plans show the deck layout with camels positioned at specific intervals, wood fenders rated for 16 H.P., and various structural components including beams, stiffeners, and connection points. The document references materials list information in column 3 and includes revision blocks for tracking design changes. The drawing authority is identified as the U.S. Naval Ship Repair Facility, with the drawing number and issue date documented in the title block. This technical drawing serves as the specification document for fabrication and construction of the steel camel structure to support naval vessel repair operations.
