Bigger ferries

Here are two more boats (ships?) that could be called ferries. The one on the right is the California Hornblower yacht. As many as 650 people can ride it for a dinner cruise. If you'd like a booking, go to http://www.hornblower.com/yacht.asp?port=sf&id=10
I'm not sure about the other one on the left; I think it may be an old ferry now used as offices. However, in Google Earth's photos of the pier, this boat doesn't show and that indicates it may be a working boat. ??

Red lamp


Last Tuesday as I walked the promenade around Pier 1 in San Francisco, I spotted this red warning lamp, one of two lamps to show approaching vessels where the ends of the pier are.
