San Francisco Waterfront and Coit Tower Viewed from USS Petrof Bay (CVE-80), WWII Era
Viewed from the deck of an escort carrier at sea, the San Francisco skyline emerges through haze, with Coit Tower marking Telegraph Hill above the busy Embarcadero piers. Ships departing or returning to the Bay Area during World War II often carried such views home as a farewell or welcome to the mainland. Project: 218389
