Four men in suits stand in a row in front of a window. The two men on the right each hold a corner of a check, probably for disaster relief. The man second from the left is J. Curtis Trahan, mayor of Texas City; third from the left appears to be Carl Nessler, formerly mayor. On the right behind the men are horizontal or Venetian window blinds which have been partly drawn up and are in disorder and bent, possibly from blast damage. 1 photographic print : b&w ; 5 x 7 in. nol image image_photo United States - Texas - Galveston County - Texas City mod-tim 1947-04-16 1947-04-16 [Receiving a check for disaster relief after the 1947 Texas City Explosion] local-cont-no: ntbkb-144 Texas City Disaster, 1947 Industrial accidents - Texas - Texas City - 1947 Disasters - Texas - Texas City - 1947 Explosions - Texas - Texas City - 1947 Fires - Texas - Texas City - 1947 Disaster relief - Texas - Texas City - 1947 Government and Law - Elected Officials Trahan, J.
