[People and hearses wait outside the temporary morgue after the 1947 Texas City Disaster]
Description:
Vehicles are parked along the roads and sidewalks and on the grass. People stand outside the temporary morgue at McGar Motor Service in groups or individually waiting and talking. In the foreground a black hearse with the sign "Rosenberg Funeral Home" waits. Signs on identifiable buildings read "Desoto Plymouth" and "Michaels" and "I.O.O.F. 656." Part of an advertisement reading "White House" can be seen.
