Description
Photograph of the Santa Barbara oil wells on docks in the ocean, ca.1920. Oil derricks line the shore and cut into the ocean water atop five docking platforms. Rows of oilrigs sit on the platforms, each with a pipe leading down into the water. In the foreground, train tracks run parallel to oilrigs on the shoreline at left. In the distance, a series of sheds, tanks and pipe ways line the side of the shore, which tapers off into the distance.
