80-G-299086:  Seabees come ashore at Point Barrow, Alaska, to establish the first Navy camp.  The Arctic slopes six fathoms to the mile at this point and it was impossible to get the ships near the shoreline so supplies and oil drilling equipment was lightered ashore in LCMs.  Photograph released January 17, 1945. U.S. Navy photograph, now in the collections of the National Archives.  (2015/12/15).
