elf1  > Travel > Alameda and Jack London Square
A quick day trip to visit the Alameda Spite House, look at some other Victorians in the area, and admire gardens. Then to Jack London Square, where we also saw the Potomac (Roosevelt's Presidential Yacht) and the lightship Relief. You may use individual photos for single use only for personal or nonprofit use. For any other use, contact me directly. Photos copyrighted 2008.

elf1 > I liked the looks of the ropes neatly hanging from the Potomac's railing.
elf1 > The lightship Relief is available for free tours. Note the unusual mushroom anchor in front. Lightships moored semipermanently out in the water where it was impractical to build lighthouses, and this style of anchor plus a thousand feet of heavy chain enabled it to stay in one spot.
elf1 > Lightship Relief's light tower. The flags are "L" and "O", for "lightship off duty" to tell any ships that saw it not to assume that it was in its correct position out in the sea.
elf1 > Capstans for raising and lowering the anchor.
elf1 > Here's my foot and, in the center chain, the biggest turnbuckle I've ever seen.
elf1 > The Lightship Relief's cabin. Lots of beautiful brass.
elf1 > Inside the center brass device, a magnetic compass for determining direction.
elf1 > The brass device for communicating with the engine room.
