   For the last 5 years the sound of drills, hammers and couring concrete was echoing all across the Chinatown Bay. It caused frequent headaches and migrenes for all of the people liviing in close procimity of the industrial quarter of the town. But now, with a little delay (the prohect was scheduled to end in September.1910) the new Los Angeles Harbour is complete and operational. It was built on a artificial extension of the Bay. The actual filling with dirt and leveling of the dock area took more time than creating the dock itself!

1909 - the bay extension prior to dock construction:

March.1911 - The Harbour is now operational with it's first break-bulk dock:

Right next to the harbour a storage tank for oil and a freight station are located, thus allowing much easier load and unload of goods for the local markets.

In 1911 the Chinatown Industrail District is the largest production machine in the South-West of SimNation. The amount of various items made here amount to 135 000 tons of production every year. In every household in the country there is an item, labeled "Made in Chinatown". With the construction of the new harbour a new wave of large and profitable industrial businesses is expected to come to this thriving town.
