USS Potomac, a yacht that served as Presidential yacht for FDR from 1936 to 1945. After FDR's death it was decommisioned by the Navy, owned by various people (including Elvis Presley) and even involved in drug-smuggling. In 1980 it was seized by the Customs Service but sank. The Port of Oakland bought it and restored it. It is now docked at Jack London Square and open to the public.

USS Potomac, a yacht that served as Presidential yacht for FDR from 1936 to 1945. See nearby photo for history. Per Wikipedia, the second funnel is not what it appears, but instead a elevator that was for bringing FDR in his wheelchair to the upper deck if there was an emergency and he needed the lifeboat.

North of the ferry terminal is the Point Malote Fuel Depot. If you look very close you can see that there are very many tanks on the hill -- they're painted a color that blends in with the color of the hillside. The cropped version of this picture (adjacent) shows how dense the tanks are.
