Potrero Point thrusts into the San Francisco Bay as a rugged, industrial peninsula defined by the massive, rusted steel skeleton of the crane standing over the water. This is the heart of the historic Union Iron Works, where workers once built the warships that fueled the American expansion into the Pacific. In eighteen ninety-eight, the crew here finished the battleship USS Ohio in record time, launching it into the bay while crowds cheered from the docks, forever anchoring this corner to heavy maritime industry.
