When a vessel calls at Los Angeles on her maiden voyage, she's given a plaque with the L.A. Harbor Lighthouse etched on it.

The city's official greeter has stood two miles out at the tip of the San Pedro Breakwater since 1913.

And for a good part of that time, it's stood with a slight list shoreward, the result of a brutal five-day storm that settled the stones of the jetty beneath it.

But it still stands firm and fast and mariners rely on its light, foghorn and radio signal.

Los Angeles Still another port where you'll find pre- mium Gulf marine lubricants like Gulf Veritas Cyloils.

These highly alkaline cylinder lubricants are for use in all low-speed crosshead diesel engines burning residual fuel oils. They're manufactured from highly refined base oils having maximum film strength and high oxidation sta- bility, compounded with oil-soluble additives to provide the alkaline reserve needed to neutralize the acidic products of combustion and a high level of detergency to ensure maximum component cleanliness.

All of Gulf's marine products give you maximum quality, performance and bottom-line economy. They're available, backed by a complete and comprehensive service capa- bility, at ports of call throughout the world. For specifics, please contact your local Gulf representative.
