Title	View of the San Pedro Harbor, showing Dead Man's Island and stacks upon stacks of lumber, ca.1900
Description	Photograph of a view of the San Pedro Harbor, showing Dead Man's Island and stacks upon stacks of lumber, ca.1900. The dockyard is rife with piled lumber in the foreground, the roof of a store house just visible in the right foreground. The masts of schooners can be seen above the stacks, and farther out, Dead Man's Island can be seen almost exactly at center.; As Los Angeles tripled its population between 1900 and 1910, causing the real estate and contruction industries to boom, large quantities of lumber were imported from the Pacific Northwest.
