Harbor View, America's Largest Seaport, New Orleans, LA


Postmarked 1947, the back of this postcard notes:

Many and varied are the harbor scenes replete with interest for the visitors of New Orleans. This view shows part of the great white banana fleet of the United Fruit Company at a wharf that is typical of nine miles of New Orleans river frontage. These boats do much to make New Orleans the world's greatest banana port, with an annual importation of approximately 20,000,000 bunches.
