Afloat in the Flood-Tugboats being built by the Missouri Valley Shipyard-a small river side yard-are almost afloat as they sit in their cradles over eight feet of Missouri River flood water at Leavenworth, Kas. A truck, used to haul materials to reinforce the private levee around the yard, is almost under water as the raging river takes charge. Note the materials piled on the deck of the boat at right.
