Vincent Thomas Bridge
Spanning the LA Harbour is the Vincent Thomas Bridge. At full zoom the shadow on the striking green water gives a very good detail of the bridge’s shape.

I bet it’s fun to pull that ship just to the south into it’s ‘parking space’ along the bridge.
I agree, it doesn’t look there is much room to maneuver the ship.
It’s a tug boat pushing a bigger boat
oups, wrong picture to comment ;D, nvw
Actually the ship to the south is the “Radiance of the Seas”, a cruise ship belonging to the Royal Carribean line. This shot was taken the day after we returned from our cruise to Mexico. It is a monster and, yes, it is manuvered by tugs until it gets out into the main channel.
This should be added to the Movie locations catagory. It was in both “Gone in 60 Seconds” during the “Eleanor” chase scene and in “Charlie’s Angels” where Cameron Diaz and Crispin Glover face off in two Indy Cars with Crispin’s going off the bridge and into the water.
