Full title: San Francisco-Oakland-Terminal Railways Ferry "San Jose." Built at Alameda, Calif. in 1903. All dimensions the same as Steamer "Yerba Buena" [cf. 50:487] which was sister ship. When built the system was known as the San Francisco, Oakland and San Jose Consolidated Rys. and went under that company, also the San Francisco-Oakland Terminal Railways and the Key System. It was burned by fire in 1919 and rebuilt by Six Minute Ferry Co. of Crockett and ran between Crockett and Morrow Cove until the Carquinez Bridge was built and was then sold to the Richmond-San Rafael Ferry Co. who renamed it "Sonoma Valley." It is still owned and operated by the last named company between Richmond and San Quentin.
