Description

Photograph of hundreds of people lined up along the beach and on the pier of Avalon, showing a tall palm tree in the foreground, Catalina Island, [s.d.]. A tall, thin palm tree stands at center foreground with shorter trees below it. People play in the water and lay on the sandy beach at right. A large group of people look towards a long building at the water's edge on the far left. More people stand on the long dock at center with a large ship and two smaller shipped docked beside them. A lightly-colored, cylindrical building stands near the cliffs in the left background while small boats float in the water nearby.
