First Wednesday: Lost Islands with Brian K. Crawford Online

There are several islands in San Francisco Bay that none of us will ever see: Arch Rock, Shag Rock, and Agnes Island are just a few of these “lost islands.” From scenic vistas to tragic tales, each of these islands has a unique story to tell. While some were built over, most were considered hazards to marine navigation and were blasted away in spectacular explosions. Join historian Brian K. Crawford to learn the histories of these islands and the many vessels that came to grief on them. Hear about the various ways they served communities in the Bay Area and the massive engineering efforts that took place to remove them.
