Through the foggy mist, this circa 1915 photograph was taken by aerial photographer, mechanical engineer, and earlier aviator, Stanley Henry Page, well before the Bay Bridge was built. On the right hand side of the photo, the piers of San Francisco can be seen and Yerba Buena Island is visible on the left. Local trivia: from the 1840s to 1930, Yerba Buena Island was known as Goat Island. #SFHistory San Francisco Bay Area aerial, Yerba Buena, Bay and fleet of ships c. 1915 SFO Museum Collection Gift of Charles Page 2010.174.501 a This image was posted on December 16, 2016.
