1965 Press Photo Ships anchored in Mississippi River due to longshoremen strike

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.
