Restarting this thread with new pics

So it has been weeks since this thread has had its last reply, and I would like to resume it with new pics.

Here are some of San Francisco's ferries. First up, Golden Gate Ferry, which celebrated its 40th anniversary last year. Its fleet includes 3 Spaulding vessels and 4 catamarans. It operates three services: San Francisco-Sausalito, San Francisco-Larkspur, and Larkspur-AT&T Park (select events only).

MS Marin, a Spaulding Ferry:




MV Napa, one of two new catamarans, delivered in 2010:




MV Del Norte:


San Francisco Ferry Terminal:


Larkspur Ferry Terminal:




More ferry pics on the way.

....
I assumed those ferries had been operating forever (probably out of the Ferry Building!) How did one get to Marin County before 1971 (forgetting about the bridge, of course, which hasn't been there forever anyway); was there another operator?

Yes indeed! It has been there for some time already. Prior to 1971, the Golden Gate Bridge was already in existence, and that the District assumed that there would be a significant growth in traffic along the bridge as it is the primary connector between the North Bay and San Francisco. So the CA Legislature created a special District that would then encompass ferry transit and buses, the former in 1971, the latter in 1972. Greyhound buses operated before then... and there was a ferry service way before the Golden Gate Ferry took its place; it carried initially trains, passengers, and cars and dropped off at the Hyde Street Pier; it then disappeared by 1955 when the highway through Marin County was completed.

We have arrived at the Rödby ferry terminal. The DSB wheel is gone by now, today the ferries are served by Scandlines.
