Richmond shipyards
We hadn't been to the Richmond waterfront before, and at first there wasn't much to see. But past the oil refineries and gritty neighborhoods we found the Rose the Riviter (WW II) park along with a bunch of mid-40's warehouses and shipyards. Nice place also to store your 125' catamaran once owned by Steve Fossett. The warehouse at the bottom just the tail end of one huge and airy warehouse complex that originally built Ford cars before the war, but now is a venue for concerts, some businesses, and the area's best hidden brewery.
