The "Sausalito" On the evening of November 30, 1901, the ferry boat "Sausalito" was crossing the bay from Sausalito to San Franciso when she inadvertently rammed into fellow North Pacific Coast ferry, the "San Rafael". The "San Rafael" was mortally wounded being hit directly in it's passenger restaurant area. Three passengers were killed instantly. A plank was thrown down between the two vessels so that "San Rafael" passngers could cross over to the "Sausalito" before the "San Rafael" sank. A horse used to move freight around on the "San Rafael", "Old Dick" went down with the ferry. The incident was the talk of the bay area for sometime and was referred to in the first chapter of Jack London's sea story, "The Sea Wolf". Watercolor on S.
