Late 1920s -- Selma Park Picnic Grounds and Trail Bay

Highway 101, of bleached sand, passes below the photographer's vantage point. The All Red Line purchased seven acres here in 1911 and established a wharf and resort named Selma Park after one of its vessels the S.S. Selma. This vessel and the All Red Line's other ship, the S.S. Santa Maria, brought visitors to the area until 1917 when the Union Steamship Company bought the resort and the ships.

c1919 -- Selma Park Wharf and Resort Visitors (newspaper clipping only)

The Selma Park wharf was at the end of the Selma Park Road. The resort had been established by the All Red Line to take advantage of the pre-World War 1 interest in water travel and rustic accommodation. The summer visitors seen here had probably stayed in the resort's tents in a clearing beyond the shore line trees. The Union Steamship Company purchased the resort and ships from the All Red Line in 1917 and continued the development of Selma Park as a resort village.
