"Golden Gate Suspension" ~ The two cables that gracefully suspend the bridge deck are 36.5 inches in diameter and measure 7,650 feet long between anchorages. Each cable weighs 11,000 tons. Notice the yellow light lenses. When the original 1937 fixtures were modernized in 1972, these lenses were designed to mimic the yellow glow of the old lamps.
"Shadow Over Lime Point" ~ The shadow of the Golden Gate Bridge towers over the old 1833 fog signal building on Lime Point. Keepers used two 12-inch steam whistles to warn vessels of the rocky spur. The whistles were powered by steam created by coal-fired boilers until converting to oil-fired boilers in 1902. The station became automated in 1962 and is still in operation today.
"Schooner Sunset on the Bay" ~ Sightseers aboard a classic schooner watch the sunset beyond the Golden Gate Bridge as beautiful shades of violet and peach fill the sky.
