Panorama of San Francisco

USS Hornet - the museum

Lion Seals basking at the wharf. The purpose built platform are built for the seals that migrated from another area about 20 miles away a few days before the earthquake of 1989. The wharf area also provides a protection from their natural enemy, the sharks. The sharks never ventured into this area the as the salinity of the water is not suitable.



Crabs anyone?
