Muscle Shoals Nitrate Plant
Description
The landscape photograph is of the summer time construction at the United States Nitrate Plant Number Two. The photograph shows several facilities under construction at the time and each are marked on the photograph.
The history of the nitrate plant's construction was twofold: first, the plant was constructed to produce large amounts of fertilizer, and second, the plant was to produce the ammonium nitrate necessary for explosives at the end of World War I. However, World War I ended before the plant could produce for that purpose. Another reason why the plant was constructed dealt with independence from the nation of Chile and their grip on nitrate production globally.
