On the San Pedro side of the ports of LA/LB stands this memorial by Jasper D’Ambrosi.  Add this to another tugster post about memorials.

Warehouse No. 1 is another type of memorial.  Brad Nixon wrote a lot more about the warehouse, including the water tower, here.  Hat tip, Brad!!

On the water side of the warehouse is a pilot station.  So what would be an appropriate name for a pilot boat from here?

 

 

 

I think that’s a great name.

Now let’s jump up to San Francisco.  What names would you imagine here?

 

 

 

I like Golden Gate.

California works too. 

But this one surprised me, although it speaks to my lack of familiarity with West Coast history, like this 1579 visit to the area.
