Sausalito and Richardson Bay Fascinating Facts:
  • Sausalito was a hotbed of bootlegging activity during the Prohibition Era. Its proximity to the Golden Gate and the frequent covering of thick fog which cut it off from the rest of the Bay made it a natural haven for rum-runners.
  • William Randolph Hearst - Willie as his mother called him - once cruised the waters of Sausalito in a yacht that ran on naptha. While cruising, the boat poured out plumes of flames, and threatened to blow up the entire crew.
  • Richardson Bay is named for William Richardson, a British sailor who jumped ship to marry the daughter of the San Francisco Presidio's commandant.
  • Sausalito's houseboat community was originally established by artists, philosophers, and musicians such as Alan Watts, Jean Varda, Aldous Huxley, Allen Ginsberg, Duke Ellington and Shel Silverstein.
  • At one time developers toyed with the idea of filling Richardson Bay to create a Coney Island-style amusement park and an airport.
