Photograph of wooden walkway along the shore, showing dirt road to the right, Catalina Island, November 11, 1927. To the far left, a large expanse of ocean can be seen extending to the extreme background. In the extreme foreground at center, a large wooden walkway can be seen stretching beside the ocean shore. A metal guardrail separates the walkway from the ocean, and several large poles supporting a wire can be seen spaced along the guardrail. At center, several small rocks can be seen in the water near the walkway. To the right of the walkway, a dirt road can be seen curving further right in the extreme background. A large mountain cliff can be seen nearby.
