SS Cabrillo
SS ''Cabrillo'' was an wooden steamship used to deliver tourists across California's San Pedro Channel to Santa Catalina Island.
==The "Banning Era"==
The Banning brothers of Wilmington played a huge role in transportation to the island even before their purchase in 1891. The Bannings owned the Wilmington Transportation Company, and provided the steamships used to deliver tourists from Los Angeles to the island's city of Avalon. When they eventually bought the island in 1891, their company had already provided the necessary transportation to Catalina. However, with new technology and a growing population of visitors, steamships were being replaced quite frequently. The Banning brothers, who now owned the island, showed even more interest in improving passenger service to Catalina. So they designed two steamships specifically for the Catalina run. The first was the SS ''Hermosa II'', followed by the SS ''Cabrillo''. Once the construction of the ''Hermosa II'' was underway, the Bannings soon realized that the ship would not be big enough to accommodate the island's growing tourism. Before the launch of the ''Hermosa'', plans for the construction of the SS ''Cabrillo'' had already begun. On February 15, 1904, early in the morning, the ''Cabrillo'' was launched and, at the time, was the finest ship on the run. The Bannings had hoped for a ship that was faster, bigger, and better in every way, and that is just what the ''Cabrillo'' was. She could carry up to 1,200 passengers. With a luxurious interior, a social hall, 10 staterooms, and food service on the main deck, the SS ''Cabrillo'' immediately became the favorite ship amongst the general public traveling to Catalina.
