LA Harbor Construction

Wanna see what it's like to have the Port of LA built before the modern marvels of rocket launches from sea?

Check this clip out from 100 years ago. It reminds us all how basic our construction was in the days of yore... and could be today, too.

(Yes, I like old clips as seen here.)

"this clip" is a broken link.

Pity, I was looking forward to seeing it :)

That is a temporary link... It's an unfortunate effect of how the LOC does things.

Perhaps you meant this film:
