| Summary: | "Ship in Dry Dock. Mobile is the largest ship building and ship repairing center on the Gulf of Mexico. The docks of the city are constantly busy, being a major port of gulf and ocean distribution. Among the foremost advantages offered at the State Docks are the three shipside railroad tracks on each of the 1600-foot apron-wharves, with cross-overs between ship's berths; thus uninterrupting switching of cars to any point on the wharves while ships are loading or unloading cars." The postmark date on the back of this postcard is August 11, 1949. |
