The photo is certainly not the Santa Barbara harbor. Where was the photo taken?
You’re right – this photo is not in Santa Barbara. It was the only photo of a Dodge Watercar that I could find. I found it on the Library of Congress website. A number of people have also asked about the location. When I use this pic in my Way Back When: Santa Barbara in 1924 book, I will delete the bridge and just focus on the boat.
