Title	Construction of beach groins, showing a fleet of trucks carrying concrete blocks to the site of a new groin along the Southern California coast, 1953
Description	Photograph of construction of beach groins, showing a fleet of trucks carrying concrete blocks to the site of a new groin along the Southern California coast, 1953. A large machine with tank-like wheels stands at center with its appendage holding one in a row of concrete slabs in the foreground on the left. A man stands in the sand next to the machine with a second man standing at the beginning of the new groin on the right. More slabs rest in a pile of dug up sand behind the machine with four tractor-drawn trucks hauling more concrete blocks approaching them from the background.
