The Ship Cafe was built in 1905 alongside the Abbot Kinney pier, on the Pacific Ocean, in the Los Angeles area.. The combination hotel-restaurant was fashioned after a Spanish galleon and served up high-priced cuisine in the main dining room, or in private salons on the second deck. The staff were uniformed like sixteenth-century naval officers. The Ship was available for private functions, which many of Hollywood's rising stars preferred. Frequented by Rudolph Valentino, and Buster Keaton (who jumped overboard to avoid autograph seekers). It was demolished in 1946.
