Description
Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. Photograph of spectators standing on the shoreline and looking out towards the water where the Catalina ferry sails out of the harbor in San Pedro. A rock wall lines the shoreline that stretches across the image in the near distance. It juts further out into the water at right. A cluster of several spectators stand and sit along the rocks with their backs to the camera as they look out towards the water that lies beyond the shore. In the distance at left, the Catalina Ferry sails out of the harbor and towards the horizon. Smoke billows from its 2 smokestacks. The ocean surrounds the boat and extends to the horizon. Barely visible on the horizon and to the left of the ferry stands a lighthouse. Text from negative sleeve: 1207. San Pedro, California, about 1910. The breakwater and Point Firmin [sic]. 1. 2. Two pictures of the Catalina Boat leaving San Pedro harbor. 3. Group on the point watching the boat. Think Glen Velzy, wife, Mrs G.M. West, Mary A West, with Frances and Elizabeth West are out in front and cannot well be seen. Some outsiders evidently came down behind us. 3 films
