Fish Harbor, San Pedro. 1947. Mending nets and cleaning ship.

Senior Citizens' Recreation. In what was Lincoln Park -- Broadway to Ocean, Pacific to Cedar -- were many activities for the aged of Long Beach: shuffleboard, croquet, checkers, or just spectating, and fishing off Belmont Pier (the poles were light-weight and a good time was had by all even if nothing much was caught but smelt).

More than 100 small tow boats (MTL or motor tug light) built for the U.S. Army Transportation Corps. Intended for towing supplies on small barges in the canals, waterways and rivers of Europe after the invasion, they were made of wood with diesel engines and crews' quarters. Built by Hodgson-Greene-Haldiman Shipyard.
