Description
Photograph of a lumber schooner, the Azalea Sanfrancisco, anchored at the Redondo Beach railroad and shipping wharf, ca.1904-1910. The weather-beaten wharf contains tracks used by small railcars for transporting materials after it's been unloaded from the boats. At center, tall wooden structures serve as a primitive crane device to lift cargo off of boats and onto the railcars. A large rope is laid out across the left side of the wharf. The schooner, with its sails down, is parked along the left side of the wharf. Its deck is loaded with lumber. Men, both on the schooner and on the wharf, are working hard to unload the lumber. A small rowboat is parked behind the schooner at left.
