Notes:

The ferryboat Peralta was built in 1926. The 256' double-ended vessel was powered by turbo-electric steam turbines. At the time, she was considered the fastest and one of the most luxurious ferries on the bay, but she had a difficult history. After an arsonist started a fire and her superstructure burnt to a twisted mass, she was rebuilt into the ferryboat Kalakala which served on Puget Sound in Washington.
