San Pedro/LA Port Stop
It is Thursday, October 25, 2018, and we are aboard Holland America's Eurodam docked at the Los Angeles Cruise Ship Terminal.
 |
| Thursday, October 25, 2018 -- We are docked at San Pedro/Los Angeles Cruise Ship Terminal Right across from our ship is the beautiful Vincent Thomas Bridge |
 |
| For perspective, the San Pedro Cruise Ship Terminal (aka Los Angeles World Cruise Center) is about 18 miles from downtown L. A. |
 |
| This overview shot shows where we are docked. Just guessing, but probably this area is the largest shipping center on the entire West Coast. Truly fascinating for those of us interested in big ships! |
 |
| A big container ship passed right in front of us and then under the Vincent Thomas Bridge. |
 |
| Ship's name: Henry Hudson Bridge. First time I've seen a ship named after a bridge. Just liked capturing a bridge going under a bridge. |
 |
| Yet another large container ship passing under Vincent Thomas. This is the Horizon Pacific -- homeport New York, NY. Operated by Pasha Hawaii |
 |
| A couple of Tractor Tugs completely turned the Horizon Pacific around before assisting her to the dock. |
 |
| Looking out from the front of our ship. |
 |
| This pic does give some scale to the whole scene. |
 |
| Pretty nice capture with the Canon 730. |
 |
| Happy boating right next to the big dogs. |
 |
| Happened to notice the Lucy Franco. Recalled seeing Franco tugs in Alaska and Seattle. Discovered history of Harley Franco's Company |
 |
| Massive new bridge under construction for the Seaside Freeway I-710 will take traffic over shipping lanes. |

Thanks for stopping by John's Island.
Those are some huge ships, all right. I would have been terrified to be on that little sailboat in the midst of them. Great shots, John. I'm enjoying this cruise. :-)
