#FREE Boat Tours of the Port of Los Angeles this Saturday (5/21 10a-3p) @PortofLA @red_tricycle 
​
Giving the local community an opportunity to see a working port up-close and in action, the Port of Los Angeles (America's Port) will be hosting its second annual Waves ‘N’ Wheels event on the LA Waterfront from 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. on May 21. With activities scheduled in both San Pedro and Wilmington, the event will feature free public boat tours and unique displays of Port vehicles and equipment - from massive cargo ships to tugs, to giant cranes and alternative-fuel vehicles, and more. 

The Port of Los Angeles is the busiest container port in the nation. The furniture and electronics in your home, the car you drive, and the clothing and shoes that you wear most likely came through the Port of Los Angeles!  There is nothing like the experience of pulling up next to a massive container ship as it unloads hundreds of containers, or seeing the world’s largest container facility that, at nearly 500 acres, is three times the size of Disneyland, and sits on a man-made island built from Catalina Island stones and material dredged from the bottom of our channels.
