Last week, Coronado Common Sense published an article about the San Diego—one of the boats used to ferry cars and passengers to and fro Coronado—being dismantled.
eCoronado has published a wonderful article about Joe Ditler and Bruce Muirhead (nephew of the Bruce Muirhead) traveling to the Bay Area to document and record the final days of the San Diego. The expedition was generously funded by Debbie Riddle and Lee Mather Co., Realtors. I think that you will enjoy "A Last Walk On The Decks Of The Ferryboat San Diego".
In perusing the internet, CCS found numerous offers to buy this ferry and restore her or put her in a museum. One woman was desperately trying to purchase the old boat to use as a home. The overall sentiment was that no one wanted to see her destroyed. If the Midway could be made into a museum, why not the San Diego?
