The use of Asphaltum in Building Sea Walls
The Ventura Division of the Southern Pacific Railroad is built for several miles along the bluffs facing the Pacific Ocean. The material of these bluffs is sand and gravel between strata of soft rock soluble in water; and though the violence of the waves is moderated by a group of islands about 22 miles off shore, at high water of spring tides with southwest gales they wash away the bank very rapidly, and protection for the road in some places was soon found necessary.
