Photograph of an aerial view of Avalon Harbor on Catalina Island, showing the steamer Hermosa #1 at anchor, ca.1889. The steamer is docked at a long wooden pier that juts into the crescent-shaped harbor at center. Several smaller sailing vessels are visible as they are anchored on the smooth water of the harbor at right. The city of Avalon is at left and is composed mostly of small buildings and narrow streets. The town is surrounded by tall mountains.
