San Francisco Ferries
The Back Story:
San Francisco Ferries
Crossing the San Francisco Bay by ferry dates back to 1850 when ferryboats operated between San Francisco and Oakland.
In 1868, the Sausalito Land and Ferry Company purchased waterfront land in Sausalito and proceeded to layout streets and subdivide the central waterfront into view lots. They also began to operate ferry service between Sausalito and San Francisco, in part as a promotion for real estate development.
The Princess, a small steamer was the first Sausalito ferry to serve San Francisco.
