Title	View of the San Pedro harbor, showing Lindscon Landing, Stingaree Gulch and Nob Hill, Los Angeles, 1876
Description	Photograph of a view of the San Pedro harbor, showing Lindscon Landing, Stingaree Gulch and Nob Hill, Los Angeles, 1876. A ship has run aground in the bay at center, capsizing to the right. Handwriting on the image identifies the wharf and shack in the right foreground as Linscon Landing, the depression in the left foreground as Stingaree Gulch and the elevation in the right background as Nob Hill. It also identifies a faint line on the horizon as the community of Wilmington.; The ship aground might also be unloading cargo using lighterage, the practice of unloading the cargo from a ship first to a lighter vessel, and then finally to the docks. The harbor at Wilmington did not have a deep-water channel running directly to the docks. The lack of a good deep-water harbor was a great handicap to Los Angeles until the Port of Los Angeles was constructed in the 1900s.
