![]() In 1913, Angel’s Gate Lighthouse was built at the end of the breakwater, which was, and still is today, the main entrance to the Port of Los Angeles. Some of the rocks used weighed about 6,000 to 16,000 pounds (2,700 to 7,300 kg). However, due to many problems and set-backs, rocks from Chatsworth, California were transported to San Pedro for the construction of the breakwater. Rocks from Catalina Island, 25.1 miles (40.4 km) away from the coast of San Pedro, were originally used in the construction of the breakwater. Construction of the San Pedro Breakwater began in 1899 for the purpose of protecting San Pedro Bay and the new, major port. After much deliberation, the federal government selected San Pedro. The city of San Pedro was in consideration of being the host of a major port in Southern California.
