San Francisco - Navy / Marine Corps / Coast Guard Museum (closed)

The construction of the Navy/Marine Corps/Coast Guard Museum on Treasure Island was begun at the time of the United States Bi-centennial Celebrations, With displays, documents and pictures the museum illustrates the part played by the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps in the Pacific. A special attraction is the huge mural by Lowell Nesbitt.

Wonderful views of the skyscrapers of San Francisco may be enjoyed during the drive over the San Francisco-Oakland Bridge and especially from Treasure Island. Treasure Island is, it must be added, a man-made island; that is to say, it is a part of Yerba Buena Island which has been reclaimed from the sea. The project was carried out for the 1939 Golden Gate Exhibition.

Museum now closed.
