Description

Sailing Off Belmont Shore Long Beach Abstract 2. Located in San Pedro Bay near Long Beach, California, sail boats cruise past THUMS Oil Island. A mix of sail and motor or power boats are shown.

The oil island is one of four artificial islands, called THUMS Islands or Astronaut Islands in San Pedro Bay. They were built in 1965 to tap into the East Wilmington Oil Field. Today the four islands, a total of 42 acres, include about 1,000 active wells producing 46,000 barrels of oil and 9 million cubic feet of natural gas every day. Meanwhile, all of this happens amidst the scenic boating and tourist waters in Long Beach Harbor .The landscaping and sound walls were designed to camouflage the operation and reduce noise, and they are the only decorated oil islands in the United States. From the nearby shore, the man-made islands appear to be occupied by upscale condos and lush vegetation. Much of the design came courtesy of Joseph Linesch, a pioneering designer who helped design landscaping at Disneyland.
