Description
Photograph of the breakwater under construction at the Port of Los Angeles, showing ships in the distance, ca.1900. A long, narrow set of railcar tracks is visible on the breakwater at center, extending out into the harbor in an "s" formation. Towards the center, a small crane can be seen billowing smoke. To the right of the breakwater, four schooners can be seen traversing the harbor waters. A grassy bank serves as the breakwater's starting-point in the foreground.
