Avalon, Santa Catalina, California. |

Description |
Seaside settlement and boats in harbor against mountainous background. One large ship occupies the middle of the harbor; smoke trails out of its smokestack. There are smaller boats in the water, as well, and a dock or pier extending into the water. Many buildings stand by the beach and on the hillside near the viewer. Mountains can be seen across the bay. Text on verso reads, "Avalon, Santa Catalina, California - This island is in the Pacific Ocean, opposite to Southern California, about 20 miles from the mainland. It consists almost entirely of mountains which rise to a height of 3,000 feet. Avalon is the only village on the island. It is situated on the east side, in a little cove or harbor. There are but a few of these harbors, in most places the mountains rise abruptly out of the ocean. Thousands of tourists and campers visit it in search of health and amusement, the principal sport being fishing." Postage information dates this card before 1952. Number 89 in a series. |
