Caption: "S.S. Santa Rosa." Wreck of the S.S. Santa Rosa off Point Arguello in Santa Barbara County. The steamship ran aground on July 6, 1911. Unable to break free, the turbulent waters eventually cracked the ship in half. All two hundred passengers got to shore alive, the only fatalities coming when four sailors were accidentally thrown out of a lifeboat by rough seas while attempting to establish a land line to stabilize the wreck.
Date: 1911

Caption: "S.P. Hospital, S.F.," c. 1910. Constructed in 1908 and designed by architect Daniel J. Patterson, the hospital treated Southern Pacific Railroad workers from across the American West, as well as passengers injured while riding. As the twentieth century progressed and automobiles supplanted trains as the premier method of transportation for people and goods, the hospital entered a period of decline, closing in 1974. It has since been renovated and now serves as a senior housing complex.
