California's Gold with Huell Howser

World War II

Season 4 Episode 409

Huell goes back in time to learn about two fascinating, yet obscure, California footnotes to World War II: a German-made crane which is the largest self-propelled floating crane berthed at Long Beach Naval Shipyard, and an incident in 1942 involving a Japanese submarine that shelled the oil field of Ellwood in Goleta in Santa Barbara County.
