| Los Angeles Harbor Anchorage. |
Some ships visit the L.A. Harbor just to take on fuel due to the relatively low cost of oil from the refineries located there. Other ships are awaiting a berth to free up. To the left out of the frame is a quarantine area for ships having explosives on board. On the horizon is Catalina Island. The gap apparently filled by the ocean is actually the Catalina Isthmus.

| Nice work, if you can get it. Fuel barge - LA Harbor |
It takes about 24 hours to pump out one of these oil barges into a ship. Of course this process must be tended. I have seen a longshoreman sit on a plastic chair reading a paper while the pumping is in progress. No smoking allowed of course.
