I have heard stories that one of the behind-the-scenes owners of the Seven Seas was William F. "Billy" Gleason, who was originally a gambler from East St. Louis, where he did very well, and came to the Long Beach area around 1932. He was a visible part owner in at least three (and probably four) of the gambling ships that anchored off the coast of Long Beach and Santa Monica from 1928-1939. Does anyone have info that might confirm (or at least lend some credibility) to these stories? |
