Steam trains at Sausalito Terminal, photo dated May 1891The Eureka, then the largest double-ended ferryboat in the world, carried passenger and automobile traffic on the Sausalito–San Francisco run from 1922 to 1941. (Pictured in San Francisco in 2008)
The Sausalito Land and Ferry Company began running ferries between here and San Francisco around 1868.[1] The terminal served as the southern terminus and ferry connection to San Francisco for the North Pacific Coast Railroad,[2] which purchased the service in 1875.[1] Pedestrian ferries were discontinued on February 28, 1941,[1][3] with car ferry service ended by March, a few years after opening of the Golden Gate Bridge.[4]
On August 15, 1970, Golden Gate Ferries began service to San Francisco along with the inauguration of bus services to the ferry terminal that day.[1] A new dock was built in 1996.[5]
