The person is standing at the bottom of one of the dry docks, The hull of the ship is above his head. The blocks are for supporting the keel and hull. I have a similar picture taken of the bottom of the floating crane “Hercules” at the Balboa dry dock.

Intriguing photo, looks as though it may have been taken inside some of the “big works” – dam, lock, etc. Anyone?
