I went sailing in the SF Bay on Sunday.  The topic of the old submarine nets under the Golden Gate Brige came up.  Now knowing a whole lot about them, I did a little research and found this interesting article.  It explains where those odd looking bulkheads at Paradise Park came from.

Interesting, indeed. I noticed the other day at Fort Funston that one of the little informational plaque things has a diagram showing the locations of all the gun batteries and where the nets & mines were placed. Incredible to think of those massive nets & mines laid out around the GG & such.
