I found a few pictures on eBay from around the harbor area, so I thought I'd post them together.

Here's a panorama of the harbor from August 9, 1919.

The seller also included this detail of the grain elevators.

Just over 75 years ago, Terminal Island was about to lose its "best know prisoner". A certain Al Capone had to pay $10,000 is tax liens to secure his release after serving 11 years in prison.

All the main buildings are still there, although there have been some additions.

Across the water and slightly north was this Mobilgas station in San Pedro. The Hotel Fern was at 230 W 7th Street. The gas station and hotel have since been replaced by the Crowne Plaza Los Angeles Harbor Hotel.
