My grandfather worked at the shipyard when he was a young man. He mentioned that the men working deep in the ships were given salt tablets or something because of men passing out from the heat. That sound right? I vaguely remember the story since I was young when he told me.
I found out later in life that when he was drafted for WWII, he got pulled out as skilled labor. He had gone to trade school. During the war He went from working on the ships to building models. One of his boats was on display at MIT for years. Guy had skill.
