Description

Photograph of unidentified schooner-rigged motor yacht coming down a main channel, passing by the fireboat berth on Terminal Island, ca.1930-1950. At center, a large yacht is seen moving along the ocean's surface. Six small portholes are seen along the lightly-colored hull of the ship. Two large cylindrical objects connected to the metallic railing hang over the starboard side of the ship near a small lifesaver. Near the center of the yacht, two large masts can be seen. Several ropes connect various parts of the mast to the deck below. Between the masts, two small cabin compartments are visible. A door and several windows are seen on the exterior of each cabin. Above each cabin, a small bundled sail is visible hanging from a wooden, horizontal bar. In the extreme background behind the ship, large buildings and wooden piers are visible. To the right, a large archway and a water tower can also be seen.
