	<span style="color:#FF0000">'''Isthmus, Santa Catalina Island'''</span> (Isthmus Cove and Two Harbors), was chosen as the site for the construction of Civil War barracks in 1863, although by September 1864 all military personnel had left the island. The drive to develop the isthmus began in 1899 when the Bannings owned all the land. They hoped to develop a resort, to be named Catalina City, that would rival Avalon. They planted Eucalyptus trees, built a new pier, and began building water and sanitation facilities. A large resort hotel to rival the Metropole, and a tent city was planned. In April 1903 the Massachusetts landscape architecture firm of Olmstead Brothers was hired to help with designs. In late 1903 the stage road to the Isthmus was completed, but in 1905, the Isthmus development project was put on hold. After the courts opened Avalon as a public port, the Bannings had renewed interest in creating their new resort, and in 1908 further improvements were made. In 1909, Joseph Brent Banning, (1861-1920), second son born to Phineas and Rebecca Banning, built his home at the Isthmus with commanding views of Two Harbors. Today this historic house serves as the Banning House Lodge.		<span style="color:#FF0000">'''Isthmus, Santa Catalina Island'''</span> (Isthmus Cove and Two Harbors) was first mapped in 1602 by Father Antonio de la Asencion, who accompanied Sebastian Vizcaino’s expedition to Alta California in 1602-1603. His map identifies Puerto de Santa Catalina as today’s Isthmus Cove. The cove is located on the island’s leeward side, facing the adjacent mainland. Opposite Isthmus Cove the harbor is identified simply as Ensenada, or Bay. Today it is named Catalina Harbor (Cat Harbor).

			Isthmus Cove is second only to Avalon Harbor in boat activity on the Island. It has 242 moorings and more than 100 anchorages. Ferries from the mainland dock at the pier in Isthmus Cove. The Two Harbors Harbor Department is based here. Shore boat rides are available year-round with 24 hour-a-day service in the summer and a more limited schedule in the winter.

			'''January 15, 1927:''' William Wrigley, Jr. initiated the Wrigley Ocean Marathon on January 15, 1927, offering a $25,000 prize to anyone who could swim the Catalina Channel. $15,000 was offered to the first woman to finish, if the prize should be won by a man. The swim began at Isthmus Cove at 11:24 A.M. and went to the San Pedro breakwater. A rowboat accompanied each contestant, and a small fleet of powerboats remained close at hand. Of the 102 entrants, 17-year-old Canadian, George Young won the $25,000 with a crossing time of 15 hours 44 minutes, landing at Portuguese Bend at 3:08 A.M. He was the only entrant to finish the race. Two women who failed the crossing were each given $2500.

	'''June 5, 1947 [TI/Avalon]:''' “Talking it over. A special page of information for personnel of the Catalina Company. This page bought and paid for at straight advertising rates by the Santa Catalina Island Company. Here are the facts on why the change was made at the Isthmus. One of the principal purposes of this page is to keep the personnel of the Catalina Companies posted on facts and prevent the undermining effect of rumor which too often masquerades as fact. Just at present gossip is busy spreading thew rumor that the Isthmus us being used as a stepping stone to all sorts of possible changes in personnel in Avalon. In the interest of fairness to the Santa Catalina Island Company itself and all of its personnel, and particularly to Mr. W. F. Olsen who as director of hotels for the Company some years ago is thoroughly familiar with Catalina, and we with him, and who is just assuming the responsibility of operating the Isthmus for this summer, it seems best to recognize rumors of this kind and take care of them by the very simple process of publishing the facts, which are these. Separate operation works best. From the viewpoint of efficient and effective operation in Avalon, the summer operations at the Isthmus have always been a decided detriment except in those years when the Isthmus was operated as an entirely separate and distinct enterprise, standing squarely on its own feet, and as far as possible in direct competition to the Avalon operations. This fact was borne out again this year when we started to prepare the Isthmus for opening. The efforts of a dozen different people became divided between the Isthmus and Avalon, and their efficiency on their principal jobs suffered accordingly. This is the reason that the policy was changed in mid-stream, so to speak, and we feel very fortunate that Mr. Olsen was available and willing to step in to take over operation of the Isthmus for this summer as a completely independent operator, dealing with the S.C.I.Co. on an arm's length basis. Rumors nearly always harmful. This particular rumor about the Isthmus is one more example of the fact that rumors in general are nearly always unfair and harmful for the following reasons, which apply not just to this situation but to any and all rumors. No company can conduct its business for long without the loyal, whole-hearted cooperation of all its personnel, and you cannot get that cooperation when people feel that they do not know who may be their boss next or if they will even have a job. A corporation just cannot let this happen, so it must lean over backwards to prevent rumor from becoming fact and getting a toe-hold by the "I told you so" method. This can sometimes mean that changes are not made even when they should be in the best interest of the business, and that a good man may be kept out of a better job in spite of his capabilities if to make the change smacks even slightly out of the stepping-stone method backed by gossipy prediction of indirect and devious methods of conducting a business.”		''''March 1944 [USNIP]:''' “In war time the island provides the location for a U.S. Maritime Commission training school for merchant seamen. Those trainees have the famed St. Catherine Hotel for their living quarters and they use the million-dollar Avalon Casino for their classroom work. Coast Guardsmen have a school among the palms on Isthmus Cove,” notes Lieutenant Commander Stanley A. Wheeler.

	From the 1920s through the mid 1940s many Hollywood films that required "tropical" backgrounds were shot at the island's Isthmus, including: the original ''Mutiny on the Bounty''; ''Old Ironsides''; ''Treasure Island''; ''King of Kings''; ''Captain Blood''; ''Rain''; ''Count of Monte Cristo''; ''Captain's Courageous''; ''Hurricane''; ''The Sea Hawk''; ''The Ten Commandments''; and ''Ebb Tide''. (More movies were filmed at the Isthmus than anywhere, other than Hollywood, during that time.)

In 1935 he opened a bar, Christian's Hut, named for Christian Fletcher, character in ''Mutiny on the Bounty'', using a building left by a movie set.

	In the 1950s, Doug Bombard, son of one time mayor of Avalon, Al Bombard, managed the area for the Santa Catalina Island Company.
