Photograph of a view of the early San Pedro Harbor, showing a tugboat and canoe, ca.1905. Large, masted ships are visible docked all along the wharf to either side of the channel of water that progresses up into the foreground from the center background. At center, a large tugboat can be seen making its way to the right, while a small canoe is visible in front of it, two silhouettes in it paddling it to the left.
