For those who haven't been to Long Beach Ca, there are 4 man-made islands in the harbor.
They are drilling platforms and the hotel-looking structures camouflage the drilling rigs.
I did a little work on two of the 4 in the early 80's.

Since 1967, they have been known as the Astronaut Islands, having been renamed in honor of four of the first American astronauts to lose their lives. Island Grissom, Island White, and Island Chaffee were named after the Apollo 1 astronauts, and Island Freeman for the astronaut who died while piloting a T-38 Talon jet for NASA.
