Description

A color image of people on the piers, on the dock, and in the water at a beach in Biloxi is featured in this postcard. The title of the postcard is printed along the upper left edge of the card. A line printed on the back of the card describes the scene as "Summer Sports at Biloxi. A happy crowd enjoying bathing and swimming at two of the city's popular piers." A handwritten note across the back describes the weather, the scenery, and the activities of the writer.
