Content description:
An aerial view of Alameda, the Oakland Estuary [then called San Antonio Estuary] taken from a great altitude This photo is virtually the same as the center photo in 2001.1.59, except that, because it is taken from a higher altitude, it covers a slightly greater area. Cultural features such as the locations of the proposed Alameda Airport and Army Base, and Naval base, are shown, all of which were underwater at the time the photo was taken. While the photo was taken at the same time as in 2001.1.59, the cultural features, (e.g. Naval Base) were updated to June 19, 1930. w
