It seemed like everyone in San Francisco turned out to welcome the Maltese Falcon to the SF. The bay was covered with sailboats. All of a sudden the three tall masts appeared out of the fog just of Baker Beach. She sailed under the Golden Gate Bridge, then past Alcatraz, and then on to Treasure Island. As she passed, all the other sailboats turned to follow. They were no match for the larger boat’s speed and were quickly left fighting against the current.
