The Port Of Los Angeles

My Water Post For Today.

It turns up in the news every day. The United States busiest port. The Port of Los Angeles in San Pedro.

The City of Los Angeles annexed (in 1909) the port area via (basically) the future Harbor Freeway area.

Called "The Shoestring", it is 16 miles long so that the City is a contiguous body of land.

It is how we grew to what we are now and as a result, there are a huge amount of ships sitting outside that port.

Enjoy the harbor area from 2019, when there were less ships waiting to unload.
