Workers busying a shrimp 'heading table' at an unidentified processing plant in Palacios, 1939. The large size catch was typical of the shrimping industry in the early years. The photo also noted that some of the shrimp were canned and shipped in crushed ice while some were quick-frozen in 5 pound cakes.
