Sub-Net – California’s Gold (4004)
Its huge, metal and stretches across the Golden Gate, but it’s not the bridge. It is the former site of the Tiburon Sub-Net Depot, where they built and deployed nets across the San Francisco Bay to keep out enemy submarines.
Long before the Tiburon Sub-Net Depot was there, this small piece of land had many incarnations, among them are: home to Native Americans, an original Spanish Ranchero, the largest Cod fish drying plant on the west coast, a coaling station for the Navy, and it was where the cables for the bridge were spun.
Come on along with us as we get a up close look at this little, but important piece of California’s Gold.
