Handset in 12 point Caslon Old Style type and printed on an antique Chandler & Price 10 x 15 letterpress in Kenmore, Washington.

M.V. Kalakala

The Kalakala comes from Seattle.
The Bremerton shipyards are wartime full.
America's might to fight her battle
Has a Pacific Northwest kind of pull.

The Bremerton shipyards are wartime full
When Kalakala 's teardrop makes her run.
Has a Pacific Northwest kind of pull
Strength beneath an enemy maritime gun?

When Kalakala's teardrop makes her run
We're building ships to shield our sailors' lives.
Strength beneath an enemy maritime gun?
Those shipyards are manned my mothers and wives!

America's might to fight her battle:
The Kalakala comes from Seattle.
