Thanks folks.
I appreciate you taking your time to respond. I didn't hesitate to order the George Harlan book as I have had one of his by the name of "Those Amazing Cab Forwards" which I enjoy every time I read it cover to cover. Which by the way have been many. I can't wait for delivery of his take on the ferry boats.
Riding on the Richmond San Rafael double enders in the middle forties and fifties was something I can't forget. I almost wish that they didn't build the bridge. Watching the machinery working through the hatches, the smell of the bunker C, steam cylinder oil and the whisps of steam around a packing gland made the day. I don't know what I miss most. The boats or my youth.
Thanks again.
Bill
