| A pair of unidentified vessels were moored abreast at the unused Public Grain Elevator on the Mississippi River at New Orleans. Built for the Port of New Orleans in 1916, by this time the facility had been made obsolete by about 10 newer privately-operated elevators located between New Orleans and Baton Rouge. The elevator's yellow 80-ton General Electric switch engine was parked at the base of the smoke stack, while the New Orleans Public Belt Railroad's COTTON WAREHOUSE YARD is on the other side of the buildings. The elevator was razed by blowing it up in 1990. |
