Olsen in the Redwood Empire Marin Graphics, San Rafael FROM THE CAB This month's column should be titled "From the Pilothouse" instead of "From the Cab", for we're featuring articles and photos on Northwestern Pacific's "navy." Fifty-four years after the last boat ran from Sausalito, few people remember the importance of NWP's transbay service. Before the Golden Gate Bridge was completed, NWP (and later the motor-vehicle-hauling Golden Gate Ferry Company and the Southern Pacific Golden Gate Ferries( provided the only means of travel for thousands of people between the Redwood Empire, Marin County SPRING-SUMMER ISSUE - 1995 and San Francisco.

The walking beam Ferryboat Portraits 9 engines and paddlewheels on each passenger boat (except T AMALP AIS) were a visible display of the power of the Ferry Days 23 engines, something not seen in most water craft where by Clyde Rice everything including the propellers is hidden.

Ferryboat Vignettes 28 Long-time ferry fan George Harlan provides this month's from an oral history tape lead article and dozens of pictures. Included are specifica­ tions of each boat operated by the NWP. We've printed many photos from member Bob Paulist's extensive collection of ferry views. Ted Wurm, our most prolific contributor, tells us about the Golden Gate Bridge's opening day, which marked the COVER begining of the end for NWP's ferry fleet. Finally, our thanks to Far Corner Books of Portland, EUREKA, Queen of the Northwestern successor to Breitenbush Publications, for granting us Pacific's ferry fleet, steams out of San Francisco permission to reprint an evocative passage from Clyde toward Sausalito in this undated photo from Rice's A Heaven in the Eye. Bob Paulist's collection. Throughout this issue, we've omitted "the" before each boat's name (except in Rice's article), in keeping with nautical tradition of the ferryboat era. ONCE AGAIN: WE NEED ADS! Our members' yearly dues are insufficient to fund ten issues of THE HEADLIGHT and two issues of THE NORTHWESTERNER. If we are to continue these publications at their current frequency and quality, we must have more advertisements. It's up to you.
