1942 Print Sulfur Louisiana Barge Mississippi River West Virginia Chemical FZ7

This is an original 1942 color print of an open barge filled with sulfur from Louisiana. The sulfur was being pulled up the Mississippi River and the Ohio River to chemical factories in Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Sulfur used to be extracted from salt domes where it occurred naturally, but today, it is almost always made as a byproduct of removing contaminants from petroleum and natural gas.
