Description: An aerial view of the port area after the 1947 Texas City Disaster. Storage tanks, some refinery facilities, the grain elevator, docks, slips, and dock warehouse areas are visible.

Description: The Wilson B. Keene cargo ship lists heavily to the right (toward the dock) after the explosions. Very heavy damage to the ship is visible, and the right side of the ship is actually below the surface of the water. Wooden debris covers the surface of the water. Across the channel, large heaps of debris can be seen on the shore. On the far right hand side of the photograph, along the dock side of a damaged warehouse, near the damaged ship, approximately a dozen men are searching through the rubble and debris. The nearest man on the dock, wearing a suit or sports coat with no tie, is facing toward the photographer but is looking down around his feet, and is himself carrying what appears to be a camera.

Description: Two men in a small rowboat search the debris in the harbor for bodies after the explosions. The water is covered with wooden debris. The Longhorn II rests on shore. On the left, two trucks and a jeep are visible on land, with three men looking at the wreckage. On the reverse side of the photograph is written: "From John P. Blazetic with 32nd Medical Battalion".

Description: A large metal section of machinery with a number of bolts in a circle on the top rests on a pile of metal and fabric debris. This is a portion of a Liberty ship reciprocating steam main engine. It is the forward section of the engine cylinder head and includes a high pressure valve and one of three cylinders. The other two cylinders and the surrounding insulation and sheet metal sheathing have been torn away. The L-shaped brackets on the sides of the casting are supports for the platform around the engine. Debris on the lower left obscures the location where the steam supply entered. The grating on the left appears to be a portion of one of the catwalks around the engines and boilers.

Description: An aerial view of the port area after the 1947 Texas City Disaster. A large cargo ship is moored at one of the slips. Three other smaller ships are on the water. Clearly visible are the grain elevator, the smoke stack, the Seatrain loading crane, the Longhorn II aground, damaged storage tanks and the destroyed warehouses and docks. One wall remains from the power house near the grain elevator, and the heavy damage to the Texas City Terminal building can be seen. The badly damaged hull of the Wilson B. Keene can be seen near the Texas City Terminal building. In the bottom right corner is a badly crushed storage tank.
