Historical Point of Interest

In this area once part of the bay, vessels from ports all over the world dumped their ballast. Untold thousands of tons were unloaded into the water by ship's crews including 40,000 tons from San Francisco's Telegraph Hill.

The island, long a gathering place for Indians on their annual migrations, was covered in the 1890's by construction of Railroad Avenue (now called Alaskan Way).
