Roy Katsura and Haruo Yoshimoto check the superstructure of the model ships at Gila River Relocation Center, Rivers, Arizona.
Scope & Content Note:
The full caption for this photograph reads: Gila River Relocation Center, Rivers, Arizona. Roy Katsura and Haruo Yoshimoto (L. to R.) check the superstructure of one of the model ships before the final assembly is completed. These model ships are used by the Navy in a training program and are constructed by Japanese-American craftsmen who wish to do their part in defeating the sons of the Rising Sun. Roy Katsura studied radio broadcasting operation in the National Trade School in Los Angeles, California, prior to evacuation. He had had no previous experience in model making but his ability to use his hands made the training period brief. Haruo Yoshimoto, prior to evacuation, was a farm worker from Fowler, California, and had no previous experience in model making.
