Photograph of the Steamer Cabrillo at Avalon, Santa Catalina Island, ca.1910. The large steamer cuts through the rippling water with two flags waving and a crowd of people on its left side. Tiny boats and sailboats float in around the Cabrillo, most of them crowded on the left. The jagged rock island stands in the background on the left.
