For 103 years, a lookout above the Los Angeles Harbor has quietly helped keep ships moving. 🚢
Inside the Marine Exchange of Southern California, a team tracks vessel movements around the clock, coordinating information that helps pilots, tugboats, terminals, and longshoremen know when and where ships are arriving.
In the October issue of San Pedro Today, writer Aaron McKenzie goes inside the operation overlooking the harbor and the people behind a system that has been running since 1923.
