San Pedro’s newest icon is “The Big Stick”—an 887-foot battleship, the USS Iowa (BB-61)—now docked at its

I visited the Iowa with my kids and my Dad (who is himself from Iowa) in October 2012. I took a ton of pictures but since it's a ship and not LA architecture, I don't think I have posted any here as they seemed outside of the scope of the thread. However I did notice from a couple of those pictures that the ferry building has been painted an entirely different color since my 2007 photo. We did not ride the red cars on that trip, but we did go over to Point Fermin:
