Photograph of seagulls in the Avalon harbor on Catalina Island, Los Angeles, ca.1900. Seagulls flock on the shore while a man sits on a crate behind them, cleaning abalone shells. A small dingy is also on the bank, tied to something outside of the frame. A dock is visible to the left, in the background, while a second boat is visible with a man inside, on the water to the right. Mountainous cliffs and other boats are visible in the distance.; Picture file card reads: "In regard to this picture, there is a girl at the arcade post office who was born on the island and whose father at one time was postmaster over there. She says the man in this view is Joe Ardago. Joe was a waterfront character who made a living doing most anything. Here, he is cleaning abalone shells and throwing the meat to the gulls. He sold the shells. This girl knew Joe very well."
