Description

Photograph of passengers standing aboard the S. S. Catalina as it approaches Catalina Island. Two men stand in the foreground at center with their backs to the camera. They face slightly left. Other passengers stand ahead and below them. All appear to look away from camera. Beyond them, water stretches across the mid-ground. Two smaller boats sail through the water at center and at far left. Brush-covered hillsides rise from the shore of Catalina Island in the distance.
