The museum welcomes donations of photograph and artifacts that document the history of the Port of Los Angeles. Please contact the museum at info@lamaritimemuseum.org or call 310-548-7618 if you have items to donate.

The Goose in this story is the largest wooden plane ever built officially known as the Hughes H-4 Hercules, but nicknamed the “Spruce Goose.” In 1943, the U.
