Description

This postcard features a color illustration of people diving from various heights of diving platforms off the Hagan and Wachenfeld piers of the beach in Biloxi, Mississippi. People are crowded around on the covered platform and some people are in the water. The title of the card is printed in the upper left corner. The back of the card is addressed to Mrs. Howard Sadler in Macomb, Illinois and is postmarked Biloxi, Mississippi, November 11, 1930. A green, one cent Benjamin Franklin postage stamp is placed in the upper right corner and an inscription is written on the left half of the card. [see transcription field] A paragraph printed in the upper left corner reads "Nowhere is the summer enjoyed more than at Biloxi. The five boys are pictured doing different types of dives from the Hagan and Wachenfeld bathing piers."
