In this photo, taken around 1910, a Stetson-Ross planing machine is smoothing ship knees for wooden ships. Ship knees were braces made from the bases of tree trunks and used to connect and strengthen the deck beams and frames of wooden ships. Three wooden ships are under construction in the background.
