Title	Breakwater under construction at the Port of Los Angeles, showing ships in the distance, ca.1900
Description	Photograph of the breakwater under construction at the Port of Los Angeles, showing ships in the distance, ca.1900. A long, narrow set of railcar tracks is visible on the breakwater at center, extending out into the harbor in an "s" formation. Towards the center, a small crane can be seen billowing smoke. To the right of the breakwater, four schooners can be seen traversing the harbor waters. A grassy bank serves as the breakwater's starting-point in the foreground.
