Description
Photograph of the construction of the Santa Monica Pier, ca.1890. In the foreground at center, two horse-drawn carriages being pulled by a single horse each can be seen. Between these carriages, a horse-drawn wagon being pulled by at least four horses is visible. A man stands near the team of horses and holds a bundle of reigns in his arms. In the background to the far right, a large building is visible beside a cylindrical canister. At center, the skeletal pier extends over the crashing waves of the ocean. Raw materials and tools lay scattered throughout the pier. On the left side of the pier, a large rail can be seen. The vast ocean is visible in the extreme background.
