The World War II battleship Iowa was towed this morning inside the breakwater at the Port of Los Angeles. The ship will remain in the outer harbor until next Saturday, then be towed up the main channel to its final mooring spot at Berth 87, the Daily Breeze says. "Dozens of people -- many with binoculars and long-lens cameras -- lined local bluff tops and rooftops," the Breeze reported. "That's pretty darn cool," said Laura Davis of Winnetka, described as a book editor who spends weekends in San Pedro.
