Encinal Ferryboat circa 1940

Ferryboat "Encinal" grounded near San Rafael and used as Spenger's Fish Grotto restaurant. "Encinal" was repurposed as a restaurant from 1937 to 1943. (According to Marin historian Dewey Livingston, the ferry was located by the Marin Rod & Gun Club, near the western end of today's Richmond-San Rafael Bridge.)
