The name �San Pedro Bay� meant Los Angeles Harbor through the 20th century; but the vestiges of that original; rustic; fishing village�like identity still cling to the port community that; through its proximity to the city of Los Angeles; grew into one of the world�s largest centers of importing and exporting. The bay has served commercial fishermen; the U.S. Army; Navy; Marine Corps; and Coast Guard; the sailing yachts of the very wealthy; and the dinghies of the disenfranchised. Today; tugboats guide gargantuan oceangoing cargo ships under the towering gantry cranes for off-loading; and enormous cruise ships call the Port of Los Angeles home.
