Baron Long's Ship Cafe, built in 1905 alongside the Abbot Kinney pier. A.K.A Ship Cafe, Venice Beach, California. A popular restaurant during the first couple of decades of the 20th century. It was called Baron Long’s Ship Café and stood along the Venice pier. It was built 1905 and fashioned after the Spanish galleon sailed by Spanish explorer Juan Cabrillo when he discovered California. It featured high-priced cuisine and booze during Prohibition for those who could afford it. Reconstructed after a 1924 fire, it was renovated several times, had a name change (to the Showboat Café), and razed in October of 1946. Named the "Cabrillo," the combination hotel-restaurant was fashioned after a Spanish galleon. It was built to look like it sat on water, but was in fact built on piles.
