White Drive San Pedro, CA 90731 Phone 310-548-7562 Fax 310-548-2649 A facility of the City of Los Angeles Department of Recreation and Parks Over 70 Years of Marine Education A Brief History of the Cabrillo Marine Aquarium 1935 Marine specimens collected at Venice Beach by local City of Los Angeles beach lifeguards were moved to the Cabrillo Beach Bathhouse, which became the Cabrillo Marine Museum under the City of Los Angeles Recreation and Parks Department. Dr. William Lloyd, a retired dentist, was hired to curate the collection. 1949 John Olguin, Captain of the Cabrillo Beach Lifeguards, was appointed Director of the Museum. He began to give impromptu talks to visiting school groups and later, as the popularity of the museum as a school field trip site grew, began recruiting volunteers to assist with tour and beach walk programs. 1951 Under John Olguin’s leadership, the Museum began an evening program that highlighted a local marine phenomenon, the grunion fish spawning on the beach. The unique and highly popular program continues to this day. 1969 Cabrillo Marine Aquarium and its evening grunion program were recognized nationally by National Geographic magazine in May. 1971 The City of Los Angeles Department of Recreation and Parks initiated the planning for an entirely new Cabrillo Marine Museum with a new building and new exhibits. 1972 The Museum’s whalewatch program, co-sponsored by the American Cetacean Society, began taking school groups to sea in boats to observe the winter migration of the Pacific gray whales. 1974 Hiring of initial staffing for the new museum was completed with the appointment of Dr.

SHEARER SUBMITTED TO SCRIPPS COLLEGE IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE DEGREE OF BACHELOR OF ARTS PROFESSOR GEORGE GORSE PROFESSOR BRUCE COATS APRIL 21, 2017 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost, I wish to thank my primary reader, Professor George Gorse. In the spring of my sophomore year, I took Professor Gorse’s class “Modern Architecture and Sustainability,” during which I became enthralled in the subject by his unparalleled passion for and poetic articulation of architectural history. Having been both his student and advisee, I am eternally grateful for the incredible advice, challenging insights, and jovial encouragement that Professor Gorse has always provided. I will also forever be in awe of Professor Gorse’s astonishing mental library and ability to recall entire names of art historical texts and scholars at the drop of a hat. I would also like to thank my secondary reader, Professor Bruce Coats, who made himself available to me and returned helpful revisions even while on sabbatical.
