Original AP Wire Photo dated April 18, 1947, showing the twisted steel framework of a burned-out warehouse and charred dock pilings along the Texas City waterfront. Smoke rises from the wreckage as fires subside following the disaster. The separate original caption, headed "Dock Wreckage," is included. Photo measures 8¼x6¼ inches. From the archive of a Pittsburgh-area newspaper. Visible condition includes age toning, light surface wear and minor edge wear. The caption is faded and trimmed at both sides, cutting off portions of the text. Please examine photos for condition.
