[Rescue workers near the Wilson B. Keene after the 1947 Texas City Disaster]
| Description: | The hull of the Wilson B. Keene lists in the waters of the port after the explosions. Approximately 25 rescue workers, some military and some civilian, are checking or searching the debris from the large multi-storied warehouse to the right of the very heavily damaged ship. A dirt road has been cleared of debris. A truck is parked along the road. Wooden and metal debris is scattered or piled in many places. Several large metal pieces and train wheels lie in the front foreground. A large pile of twisted pipelines is heaped near the end wall of the warehouse. |
