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.
