Description
Photograph of a crane moving concrete blocks into place to build up the Southern California shoreline, [s.d.]. The crane is on the beach at right and is moving a triangular concrete block into a line with several others. Two men are standing near the line of concrete and helping to maneuver the large blocks into place. The ocean is visible in the background. The line of concrete blocks would form the foundation of a structure designed to build out the shoreline.
