photography - entry 2 for #harbourphotocontest with theme "Harbour/Yacht Club Photography"

This photo of an abandoned boating dock in China Camp State Park in San Rafael is my second #harbourphotocontest entry for theme Harbour/Yacht Club Photography in the Photo Fun Contest by @claudiaz.

I have taken many photos in the marinas in the Bay Area (California, USA) that would be suitable for this theme. But browsing through my archive I remembered this old location and the photo of the boating dock I had taken there. China Camp State Park preserves a shrimping camp that was build by Chinese immigrants in the mid 1800s - one of many around the San Francisco and San Pablo Bays. You can read more about its history here.

Here are a few more photos from the camp:
A stranded boat:

An old gasoline pump:

And two wooden planks with images of the Chinese immigrant families that lived and worked here:

These look like photos, but how they were transferred to the wooden planks I don't know, and I couldn't get any background info about them in the little museum in which they can be found. I'd love to know how this was done though because this would be a unique way to print/present my own photography.
