The Long Beach Shoreline Marina is a marina based in Long Beach, California.
History
editThe marina was built in 1983 to host the competitions in Sailing at the 1984 Summer Olympics. The marina used the five gangways of this shoreline. The 1984 Summer Olympics were based in neighboring Los Angeles.
It is located near the Long Beach Convention and Entertainment Center, which hosted the competitions in Fencing at the 1984 Summer Olympics and Volleyball at the 1984 Summer Olympics.
Beneath the flagpole at Shoreline Park are the names of 74 Navy sailors who boarded the USS Frank E. Evans in Long Beach and perished in the Melbourne–Evans collision.[1]
