历史记录
George Schneider (Email to Nauticapedia 07/12/2021) stated "With time still to spare, I headed over the hill towards the San Pablo Bay Marina, which used to be the home of lots of shady craft. But even though the road there would wreck your average automobile, the place is getting gentrified, and “Houseboats” (the ones like floating homes, not floating RV’s) are taking over. Along the way, however, you pass another former haven of wrecks, now looking very natural except for one hulk in the water. She’s the former Coast Guard 165-foot cutter HERMES (WPC 109), and was laying there at a long-gone pier about 1970, quite stripped, but probably intended for rebuild, not scrapping. This place was called the Red Rock Marina, built on a landfill of the big wooden army BCL barges (some of which were collapsing at the time) and mooring for not only low-life yachts and other small craft, but the last layup place for the war prize coaster CYNTHIA OLSON and her older counterpart, the WWII freighter-cum-barge MARGUERITE."
