title: Wilmington and Long Beach "Get Out and Push" street railroad (or open-air train), 1887

description: Photograph of a half-tone print of an open-air railroad car and engine between Wilmington and Long Beach, 1887. The Wilmington & Long Beach Rapid Transit Railroad -- built by Judge Widney -- connected Long Beach (Willmore) with Southern Pacific lines in Wilmington. It was called the G.O.P.R.R. (get out and push railroad) since passengers often had to push the train over a hill. The passenger car behind it, in which several people are visible as well as their luggage, was once an old horse-drawn trolley car. Several passengers sit in the shade of an awning over the wooden car. The engineer leans out over the sidewall of his small engine. A plank walkway flanks the train to its left and the train is on an incline. Part of a building can be seen in the background to the right.; Photoprint reads: "American Colony built rail line from Souther Pacific to the town sitte. Called the G.O.P.R.R. (get out and push railroad) since passengers had to push the train over a hill. The passenger car was an old horse car in disguise. The G.O.P. connected Willmore City with 'the whole railway system of the United States'".

title: The Global Extreme Sea Level Analysis (GESLA) Version 3 dataset: Part 2.

description: This dataset is a major update to the quasi-global, high-frequency (at least hourly) sea level dataset known as GESLA (Global Extreme Sea Level Analysis). Versions 1 (released 2009) and 2 (released 2016) of the dataset has been used in many published studies, across a wide range of oceanographic and coastal engineering-related investigations concerned with evaluating tides, storm surges, extreme sea levels and other oceanographic processes. The third version of the dataset (released 2021), presented here, contains twice the number of station-years of data (91021), and nearly four times the number of station records (5119), compared to version 2. The dataset consists of records obtained from 36 sources around the world, including some data archaeology efforts. The oldest record dates from year 1805 (spanning 217 years), followed by a few other stations starting during the 1840s and 1850s. However, the vast majority of records start during the 1950s. Data have been updated until mid-2021 whenever possible. We have archived the dataset into two parts. This second part contains the 592 records that are can be used for research purposes, but not consultancy. The higher-frequency sea-level dataset in this second part of GESLA-3 was obtained from 3 international and national data providers, specifically: City of Venice, Tide Forecasts and Reporting Center, University of Zagreb and the Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service. These data are made available under the creative commons BY-NC 4.0 license.

title: Panoramic view of the Grand Canyon from the Grand Canyon Village, ca.1900-1930

description: Photograph of a panoramic view of the Grand Canyon from the Grand Canyon Village, ca.1900-1930. A man, with his camera set up on a tripod, stands ready to take a picture of the canyon (at left). Behind him are a trail and a two-story building. The trail wraps follows the edge of the cliff and leads to more buildings in the distance. At the center of the view is Battleship Butte. The butte, a rock formation shaped like a battleship, sits on one of the many plateaus within the Grand Canyon. From this view, with the exception of the canyon below, the land at the top is almost perfectly horizontal. Bushes and trees dot the land in the foreground. Bushes and trees can also be seen growing along the canyon walls or plateau walls.; "About 4,000 years ago, a prehistoric hunter-gatherer culture lived in the Grand Canyon region until 1000 B.C. The ancestral pueblo people arrived in the area about A.D. 500. Departing in 1150, they left behind remnants of some 2,000 village sites. In 1300, ancestors of the modern Hualapai and Havasupai migrated to the western areas of the Canyon. John Wesley Powell, seen in this late 1800s photo, was lured by science and adventure to explore the Colorado River in 1869. Powell's 99-day expedition down the waterway forever changed the river and brought enduring renown to its 35-year-old conqueror. The first Europeans to view the Canyon were a detachment of conquistadors from Coronado's gold-seeking expedition in 1540. Having learned of a 'great river' from the Hopi, the explorers thought it might be the fabled Northwest Passage to India. Over the next 300 years, a succession of explorers and mountain men came and gaped, but to most it was a giant obstacle designed, as one fur trapper put it, 'to deprive all human beings of the ability to descend ... and make use of its waters.' The Canyon remained largely unknown (and virtually unexplored) until Civil War veteran John Wesley Powell led a famous boat expedition through the gorge in 1869. The one-armed Army Major and nine men accomplished this feat in four small wooden boats. Powell's party was probably the first ever to make such a trip. After a second journey in 1871-72, he aptly named it Grand Canyon." -- unknown author.

The first plaza of the pueblo had been located to the southeast, close to the Rio Porciuncula (Los Angeles River). When the river flooded, the pueblo was moved to higher ground. Shortly after the dedication of the plaza church in December 1822, the plaza's location was changed again to the present site." -- unknown author, 2001.

title: The Marshall Monument at the site of Sutter's Mill, Coloma, California, [s.d.]

description: Photograph of The Marshall Monument at the site of Sutter's Mill, Coloma, California, [s.d.]. The statue depicts James Marshall in pioneer garb, holding a gold nugget in one hand and pointing to "the place he found the first gold (June 19, 1848)" with the other hand. Two trees flank the monument. Grass and wild flowers cover the area in the foreground. Bushes and trees cover the hill in the background.; Legible signs include: "Marshall", "48", "commissioner for the state, A. Caminetti, John H. Miller, George Hofmeister, H.C. Gesford, the site of this monument is a gift to the state of California from Placerville Parlor, N.S.G.W.".; "The Marshall Monument stands at the summit of Marshall Hill, overlooking the town of Coloma and the site of Sutter's Mill. The bronze Marshall, holding a gold nugget in one hand, points with the other to the site where he discovered those first few flakes of gold. The monument is made of granite and stands thirty-one feet tall, atop of which is the ten foot six-inch tall bronze statue of James Marshall. The monument was designed and sculpted by J. Marion Wells, and cast in San Francisco. It was erected by an Act of the Legislature, in May of 1890 at a cost of $5,000. James Wilson Marshall is buried beneath the monument." -- unknown author.

title: Close-up of a specimen of the blossoms of the chaparral yucca (Yucca whipplei), [s.d.]

description: Photograph of a close-up of a specimen of the blossoms of chaparral yucca (Yucca whipplei), [s.d.]. A sprig of the plant has been sawed-off at both the top and bottom of the branch. Lightly-colored, cuplike leaves hang from the extending shoots, along with several buds. Compares to CHS-5386 which shows the same sprig from a different angle.; "The genus Yucca is one of the most remarkable groups of flowering plants native to the New World. It includes about 40 species, most of which occur in the southwestern United States and Mexico. Although they are often associated with arid desert regions, some species are native to the southeastern United States and the Caribbean islands. What truly sets this genus apart from other flowering plants is their unique method of pollination: A specific moth that is genetically programmed for stuffing a little ball of pollen into the cup-shaped stigma of each flower. Like fig wasps and acacia ants, the relationship is mutually beneficial to both partners, and is vital for the survival of both plant and insect. In fact, yuccas cultivated in the Old World, where yucca moths are absent, will not produce seeds unless they are hand pollinated." -- unknown author.
