[Looking toward the port from the Post Office after the 1947 Texas City Disaster]
Description:
The flag at the Post Office flies at half mast while in the background clouds of black and white smoke rise from fires down near the port. Taken from a level above the ground floor, looking down the wide street alongside the post office, one can see to the grain elevator and the water tower in the far background. Cars are parked along the street. Signs of the stores and businesses lining the street read as follows: "Agee's Drugs", "J. R. Smith Co.", "Cookies, Grocery & Market, CocaCola."
