![Exterior view of the Wilcox Building on the southeast corner of Spring Street and 2nd Street, ca.1905 Photograph of the exterior facades of the Wilcox Building, located in Downtown Los Angeles, on the southeast corner of 2nd Street (left, eastbound) and Spring Street (right, southbound) ca.1905. The building stands five-stories tall (plus basement). The roof has a concrete balustrade and a flagpole. There are two narrow balconies visible, one on the corner (center), and one on the right side of the building above the large arched Spring Street entrance. The streets are bustling with pedestrian and vehicular traffic. Horse drawn carriages and streetcars can be seen on the streets. The bell tower of Saint Vibiana's Cathedral can be seen at left.

The Wilcox Building was designed by the San Francisco firm of Pissis & Moore, with a Classical Revival facade of grey sandstone. Completed in 1896. The Bryson Block and Hollenbeck Hotel were "more flamboyant neighbors." After extensive damage during the Sylmar Earthquake in 1971, its upper four stories were demolished, leaving only the basement and the unrecognizable stripped facade of the ground floor.

Operators on the Ferry from Plymouth to Poole publish Bar, Bicycles, Cabins, Cafe, Restaurant, Restrooms. That is what 1 carriers on this corridor state about their own fleets, across a journey of 6h 50m door to door. Where a carrier publishes nothing, this page lists nothing for it.
Where these numbers come from
Places, coordinates, operators, which operator serves which pair, and every distance on this page are real and come from open data. Where a corridor has a filed timetable the departure times are real too, and ferry fares are the prices the operators publish themselves.
Derived from service area No carrier record names this exact pair. The operators listed publish a service area covering both places at a distance their mode plausibly carries people, which is evidence that the corridor is served and not evidence of a specific service. Pages state which, because presenting the two as the same thing would be dishonest.
Where no operator publishes a fare for a corridor, the price here is our own estimate, worked out from the real distance and the real operator through a fare curve that follows lead time, day of the week and season. It tells you roughly what the journey costs. It is not a seat anyone has agreed to sell, and the payment step will not take it.
