Kai Nui,

Naw, I wasn't putting "The Cement Ship" at Capatola into my list. I figured that one was kinda' a special case and didn't count.



"The story of the S.S. Palo Alto begins on May 29, 1919, when the newly completed, 435 ft concrete ship Palo Alto slid from dry dock into the San Francisco Bay" Was the Palo Alto the first cement ship? (Its the one in Capitola. And I don't think its going to last another hundred years, its fallin' all to bits.)




Were the boats on the Half Moon Bay beach Ferro? I can't be positive. I was just a kid, someone told me they were. Never thought to doubt it. I know one was wooden, 'cause where the wood was missing you could see throught to the inside where the familly were living. Ma, Dad n' the kiddies.

Funny how some scenes stay with you.
