You're invited to our birthday party!

The Port of Long Beach is celebrating its 100th birthday all year long.

Throughout 2011, we'll be sharing historical photos, videos, oral histories of community members and current and former Port employees, little-known facts about the port and other glimpses into our past.

We encourage you to comment about what we share and come back often to see what's new.

If you have a photo or a story you'd like to share with us, please click here to send us an email -- we'd love to hear from you and we may use your submission here on the site.

The party's just beginning so enjoy!
