Lost Islands of San Francisco Bay by Brian K. Crawford

Arch Rock standing out in the center of the Golden Gate with its scenic tunnel. Shag Rock, which figured in two celebrated murder cases. Anita Rock, which sank a ferry loaded with orphans. Most of these rocks and many more were blasted away in spectacular explosions as hazards to navigation. Others were built over. Learn the histories of these islands and the many vessels that came to grief on them. Hear about the various uses they were put to and the massive projects to remove them.
