Description
Photograph of construction of the breakwater in San Pedro for the harbor, ca.1900-1908. Large stone bricks can be seen stacked to form a breakwater that runs from the right foreground into the left background. The portion of the breakwater in the background is not completed. What appears to be a sort of wagon can be seen above the breakwater towards the background. Water can be seen at left. Turn of the century street views of San Pedro and Wilmington.
