Stories from the Sea｜San Francisco｜Golden Bridge on the Seawomen's Eyes

Arrive at the last stop of China Eastern Airlines – San Francisco

The trainee third mate called me in my room and said, "Would you like to go up to the compass deck to see the Golden Gate Bridge? It will be some time before we enter the harbor!"

I ran up excitedly and saw the famous Golden Gate Bridge getting closer and closer to me.

The boat kept moving forward and we reached the bottom of the bridge

The trainee third mate said: "Only on the ship can you see the bottom of the Golden Gate Bridge! That is something that others cannot see."

I thought to myself: "This is so amazing! This is a benefit for boat runners!" I was really happy at that time

Continue sailing along the channel and see the legendary sea prison – Alcatraz! A place dedicated to serious criminals, Alcatraz has also become a famous tourist attraction because of the movie "The Rock". If I come to San Francisco again in the future, I will definitely visit the island!

Then we sailed to the coast of San Francisco and saw the high and low hilly terrain. At first, horses were relied on, but the burden on the horses was too great, so the famous jingle car was invented.

Reminds me of what my master, the first mate who taught me, said, if you ever go to work, you must take a ride on the Ding Ding car. The car will take you up first, and then you can slowly stroll down while enjoying the street view of San Francisco. .

Due to some reasons, I didn’t go to the ground. Arvin, an old Filipino sailor who was very close to me, sent a message asking if I wanted to buy souvenirs, so I chose a few representative souvenirs. Although I didn’t go here, it was still my own. Memories of being here!

At the end of my shift in the evening, I walked up to the bridge and admired the sunset over San Francisco. The breeze blew across my face and a song came to my mind.

San Francisco is so beautiful.
