Description
Thums islands were named after the astronauts who died in the line of duty, White, Grissom, Chaffee, and Freeman. That lead to their nickname, the “Astronaut Islands”. The THUMS Islands or Astronaut Islands are a set of four artificial islands in San Pedro Bay off the coast of Long Beach, California. The fascinating story of their construction, and the successful attempts to mask their true purpose of early environmental activism in America. Employees recalled getting frequent calls from freaked out visitors, warning “Hey, your building just moved!” Other times, they are duped, believing the tall movable structures are apartment buildings or hotels
