Color silent amateur footage (1940's-early 1950's) taken by Terminal Island resident Ben Fukuzaki, primarily of the fishing industry in and around Fish Harbor, Terminal Island, and San Pedro, California.

This segment shows a fishing boat at sea; two fishermen scrub and dowse each other with buckets of water, laughing; and one fisherman hoses down another on the boat's stern, with two fishermen in the boat's dinghy, trailing behind (00:33).
