Traffic Jam on the River
Longshoremen's Strike, 1965
From A-P Press Release, February 2, 1965:  "Wait for Strike to End -
This heavy concentration of ships, anchored in the Mississippi River
at New Orleans due to the longshoremen's strike, has prompted Dock
Board officials to suspend charges and allow ships at anchor to berth
at the docks without charge.  The decision was made to reduce
hazards to ships still operating in the river."
