Where was this NBC truck in 1964?

The turnover was in Bremerton, WA, where the decomm'ed Alabama was berthed. She later made a pitstop in the shipyard for a refit for towing, and was towed to Mobile after conversion/safing.

From Wikipedia:

The ship was awarded to the state on June 16, 1964, and was formally turned over on July 7, 1964 in ceremonies at Seattle, Washington.

It was actually Bremerton, not Seattle, but close enough.

BTW, my mom is from Foley...God's country, LA.....

It could also be the arrival/departure of the SS United States - she sailed from NYC to Europe in 1964.

Another thought - the slide could depict something in late 1963, and was processed in 1964.

...or the NS Savannah (the first commercial nuclear ship) made visits to East Coast ports in 1964, and would have certainly attracted national media.
