At center, the U.S. Coast Guard ship, CG-257, sits on the water while monitoring a swim event. It is viewed from its port side and faces towards the left. Its identification marking, "CG-257," is scrolled along the hull towards the bow. A few sailors man the small vessel. One sailor stands atop the boat's cabin and waves a flag. On the horizon at far left, a lighthouse is visible.
View of sunbathers on the beach in front of the Santa Monica Athletic Club, view of sunbathers on the beach in Venice and view of the promenade along Venice Beach.
A crowd stands along the shore at Venice Beach the day after Aimee Semple McPherson disappeared from the same beach. The crowd stands across the mid-ground at right and center; most face towards the left. Most spectators also wear jackets at the beach. Venice's shoreline stretches back at left. Buildings rise behind the throng of people in the distance at right. On one of the buildings it reads, "HOTEL CADILLAC." In the far distance at left, Lick Pier stretches into the water.
Three postcard views of sunbathers at Venice beach. Two view show the beach crowded with sunbathers and umbrellas on the sand between the shore buildings and the water. One view shows a sparsely populated beach with the pier and roller coaster in the distance.
