Photo showing Scripps Canyon at Blacks
I think this is from 1945, shows Scripps and Sumner Canyons. La Jolla Farms was still a farm.

very cool picture Dave...
I didn't even know the pier was there that long ago. I knew about some of those buildings on the campus, but not the pier. |

the pier must have been shorter or the underwater topography has sure changed for it to be breaking even with the pier to the north. Although it looks like we have lost alot of sand in 60 years. Cool pic Dave, probably took it from a dirigible

Andy- It looks like the tide goes all the way up to the cliff. I no that happens north of the pier, but what about where the houses are?

Scripps Pier was originally built in 1916 and remained until 1988 when it was rebuilt. I have a piece of wood from the original pier at my house.
Here is a little more information The land that SIO is on was originally purchased from the city for $1000. http://www.explorations.ucsd.edu/back/exp_pdfs/Volume_7_n1/The_Biological_Colony_V7n1.pdf
