Me too Dave...seems like it was 25-cents for pedestrians and a buch for a car?? In the afternoon, the Phib base used to run a Mike boat across the bay. Great place!!
I was in SD from 63-67, sailing in and out of port bound for WESTPAC or Home.
I remember pedestrians paid 10 cents to ride the ferry and at the time, according to an article in the SD Union, someone was dropping slugs into the coinbox to save themselves a dime.
We used to take our diving boat out off Point Loma from the Naval Station to keep our diving qualifications up to date (actually, we went abalone fishing, but the fishin' trips served two purposes). :)
It was indeed a great place!
