Coast Guard Station San Francisco
The central Coast Guard station for San Francisco occupies a prime spot on the east side of Yerba Buena Island. The buoy tender Aspen is at the left; the red and green objecs on the dock are buoys waiting to go into service.
U.S. Coast Guard's 225-foot Buoy Tender Aspen was built by Marinette Marine Corp. in 2001.
Modern buoy tender, with advanced ship-positioning controls.
About U.S. Coast Guard
If there is an imminent threat to life or property, don't hesitate to call the Coast Guard on Channel 16. But if you're just inconvenienced (for example, drifting without power but not near any hazards), call a commercial towing company.
