Description
Photograph of a view of the San Pedro Harbor, showing the breakwater, ca.1925. In the left foreground, a small utility shed stands with signs that read "Bait and Tackle" and "Fresh Fish". Farther to the left, five individuals can be seen standing at the end of a short plank walkway with their backs to the camera, just on the edge of the long stone stretch of the breakwater. Filling the remainder of the background, what appear to be large cargo ships are scattered through the harbor in open water, while two tug-boats float next to one another to the left.
