[Passenger pier in Texas City]
Description:

A long wooden pier, wide enough to hold automobile traffic, runs out into the bay. At the end of the pier, a structure of some kind can be seen. Electric poles line the left side of the pier. Three women dressed in long dresses and hats stand looking over the rail. Farther down the pier, an automobile and a single pedestrian share the pier.
