Description

Photograph of the Catalina Ferry leaving the harbor in San Pedro. Rocks line the shore along the bottom edge of the image. In the near distance, right-of-center, the ferry sails towards the right. Its wake flows behind it at left. Two smokestacks atop the ferry billow smoke. Water occupies the foreground and extends into the distance.
