An out-of-focus photograph, from left to right, of George Corwin and Robert T. Brain standing on the pier at Ocean Park with their fishing gear. The pier stretches along the bottom edge of the image on a slight upward angle from left to right. In the foreground, a basket, camera and some cans sit on the pier at center. Both George Corwin and Robert T. Brain stand along the wooden rail of the pier. George Corwin stands at left and looks to the camera while he holds a fishing rod. Robert T. Brain stands at right and looks to the camera as well. An unidentified man stands behind and to the right of Robert. His back is to the camera as he looks over the edge of the pier. In the background, the ocean extends behind them at left and center and the coastline stretches into the distance at right.
Photograph taken aboard an unidentified battleship visited by H. H. West and others just off-shore in Santa Monica. A man wearing a hat and with a hand in his pocket peeks into the frame from the left. Two large gun turrets are behind him and sit at the center of the photograph. To either side of that, there are two more, smaller, turrets. Atop the 2 large turrets at center, there is the ship's bridge. Visitors stand at a railing on top of the bridge amidst large guns that face outward to the right and left. On the deck, a uniformed naval serviceman approaches the large gun turrets from the left. Two women in dresses stand to the right of the large turrets. On the far right, a lifeboat hangs off the side of the ship.
Photograph, from left to right, of Ellen Lorene "Pinkie" Lemberger, Mertie Whitaker and Nella West standing on a pier at Santa Monica's North Beach while holding onto their hats.

Pinkie Lemberger stands at left and faces towards the right. She places a hand to her hat. Mertie Whitaker stands at center and further back from the camera. She smiles to the camera as she places both hands behind her head. At right, Nella West stands in profile, facing left. She too raises a hand to her hat.

Sitting back from the water at right, the Arcadia Hotel stands.
