Title: Military personnel near the port after the 1947 Texas City Disaster
Abstract: A military vehicle with military personnel is stopped on the road near the port. Two military men stand talking in front of what appears to be a large piece of ship's hull. Behind the vehicle are two more workers, one carrying a pickax over his shoulder. A ship's mast lists heavily to the right in the port, just beyond the road. In the distance can be seen the outlines of a badly damaged building, either a warehouse or the Monsanto building. On the reverse of the photograph is written:From John P. Blazetic with 32nd Medical Battalion.
