San Pedro harbor paths, maritime history, a battleship.
Los Angeles sails from the World Cruise Center at San Pedro, in the harbour south of the city, not from anywhere near the parts of Los Angeles people picture. It is about forty minutes from the airport with no traffic and considerably more with it. Mexican Riviera itineraries and repositioning sailings leave from here.
