Vincent Thomas Bridge
There has always been a need to cross over the
main channel of the Los Angeles Harbor, even in
the early 1870's, when the first ferry service
consisted of a rowboat that made the trip to
Terminal Island only as passengers were
available. Ferry service was the only means of
transport for decades. From 1937 until 1957,
various proposals were considered regarding
construction of a tube tunnel connecting the
Harbor and Long Beach freeways. Engineers
concluded that a four-lane bridge could be built
for slightly more than the two-lane tube.
Completed in 1963, "San Pedro's Golden Gate" was
the first bridge of its kind to be constructed on
pilings. Construction required 92,000 tons of
Portland cement, 13,000 tons of lightweight
concrete, 14,100 tons of steel and 1,270 tons of
suspension cable. It is designed to withstand
winds of 90 miles per hour, double that required
by code. The overall length of the bridge is
6,050 feet, with a main suspension span of 1,500
feet and 500-foot spans on either side. The
towers are 365 feet high. Named for one of San
Pedro's "own," an orphan from the streets and
wharves who went on to become a State
Assemblyman, it was The Hon. Vincent Thomas who
cut the ribbon at the dedication ceremony. The
dramatic green bridge has been designated as the
official landmark welcoming visitors to Los
Angeles.

The Danish Castle
This striking example of the diversity of
Southern California's architectural heritage was
modeled after a Danish prototype, and constructed
for a Danish sea captain in the 1880's. Sailors
nicknamed it the "Danish Castle", and many
colorful stories are associated with it. Private
residence, not open to the public.

Assistance League of San Pedro Post Office
Located in the quaint Weymouth Corners
neighborhood, this is the only contract post
office in the country that is run totally by
volunteers. Founded in 1966 at the suggestion of
neighborhood merchants, the ladies originally
sold stamps over a Dutch door. It is now a
full-service domestic post office. All money
raised goes toward philanthropic projects.

U.S.S. Los Angeles Naval Memorial
The heavy cruiser CA-135 Los Angeles earned her
name, since she was financed by war bonds
purchased by the residents of the city and county
of Los Angeles. The campaign produced over 80
million, and was so successful that it helped to
finance four destroyers in addition to the Los
Angeles. Commissioned in 1945 just a few days
prior to Japan's surrender, she spent a year in
Asiatic waters before being placed in the reserve
fleet. Recommissioned in 1951, she was the first
U.S. Navy vessel to take enemy fire in Korea, and
established a record for the longest-sustained
bombardment ever logged by an American warship.
After Korea, she returned to routine naval duties
until 1963, when she was decommissioned, placed
in the reserve fleet in San Diego and scrapped in
1977. When the Los Angeles was dismantled, San
Pedro was able to obtain her main mast, her two
anchors and one of the anchor chain capstans.
Together, they form the monument that was
dedicated in 1979. With code flags and the Stars
and Stripes flying proudly, the mast has become a
symbol of the heritage that San Pedro Harbor
represents. An extensive collection of
memorabilia from the Los Angeles is on display at
the L.A. Maritime Museum.

Y.W.C.A. - Morgan House
Designed by Julia Morgan, the first woman
architect in California, best-known for the
Hearst Castle. Built in 1918, it is of the
classic batten and board design. The eaves are
wide and sheltering, and the pitch of the roof
has a gentle rise. The general impression is of a
low and wide building anchored firmly to the
earth. It is unobtrusive and simple in line,
being designed as a comfortable and functional
clubhouse, a home for single young working women.
It was also intended as a community center for
dances, classes, swimming (the pool has since
been filled in) and as a hospitality house for
service personnel.

Angel's Gate Lighthouse
This historic lighthouse has marked the entrance
to the port since 1913. The breakwater is 9,250
feet long and contains nearly three million tons
of rock, brought over from Santa Catalina Island.
Designed differently than any other California
lighthouse, Angel's Gate is situated on a
forty-foot concrete square. Built to withstand
rough seas, the framework is structural steel,
with steel plates to the second floor. The
lighthouse is so well-constructed that, after a
five-day storm in 1939 sent violent seas smashing
into the building, the 73-foot Romanesque tower
leaned slightly toward shore, but still stood
defiantly, as it does to this day. The lighthouse
was automated in 1973, thus eliminating the need
for keepers. The two note blast of its foghorn
every thirty seconds is a familiar sound to local
residents. Mariners entering Angel's Gate are
guided by the lighthouse's rotating green light.
Whenever a deep sea vessel arrives on her maiden
voyage in Los Angeles Harbor, the master is
presented with a plaque etched with the likeness
of the light, an official greeting from the City
of Los Angeles, and the lighthouse that watches
over the entrance to her harbor.
