Red and White Fleet
The Red & White Fleet was founded in 1892 by Thomas Crowley with only $80 in his pocket. His business weathered the big 1906 quake that leveled most of San Francisco and prospered when the Golden Gate Bridge was built literally in front of his doorstep.

Now that is very interesting and what a neat thing that he survived that earthquake, Definitley is history there. Looks much better when you enlarge the photo.
Love to take excursions on this but not when its too cold and my eyes and nose are in a race to see who runs first...
Sounds like a fun trip for a warm summer day.
