The three Skylab crewmen arrive on the deck of the prime recovery ship, 
U.S.S. Ticonderoga, following the successful splashdown of the Skylab 2 
Command Module about 835 miles southwest of San Diego, California. Leading 
down the steps is Astronaut Charles Conrad Jr., followed by 
Scientist-Astronaut Joseph P. Kerwin, and Astronaut Paul J. Weitz. Recovery
