Historical Data	Santa Catalina Island is located approximately 26 miles off the coast of Southern California, near Long Beach. In 1887, entrepreneur George Shatto purchased the island with the intention of turning it into a major tourist destination, but after amassing large debts, he sold the property in 1892 to Joseph and Hancock Banning. For more than twenty-five years, the Banning brothers had ownership of Santa Catalina Island and continued to develop the area. In 1919, the Banning brothers sold the land to William Wrigley, who along with his son Philip, continued to develop the island. In the mid-1970s, they created the Catalina Island Conservancy, which was given 88% of the island to protect native species and prevent over-development.
Description	Several people sit around "Camp Clemente", cooking, drinking, playing instruments, and holding up wild game. These campers - eight men, seven women and two young girls, sit in front of three pitched tents and a makeshift stove, located somewhere on Santa Catalina Island.
