Southern Pacific built new facilities to shift auto routing to the Oakland Pier in 1921 and purchased three new Six Minute ferries.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1922, The Golden Gate Ferry Company (GG) began transporting automobiles between Hyde Street Pier in San Francisco and Sausalito Ferry Terminal in Marin County. Southern Pacific purchased three more auto ferries with a ferry route linking San Francisco with a Richmond, California connection to the Lincoln Highway in 1925. Golden Gate established another route between Hyde Street and Berkeley Pier in 1927. Southern Pacific built six diesel-electric ferries and gained control of Golden Gate's Golden-prefix ferries to form the subsidiary Southern Pacific-Golden Gate Company in 1929.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnother auto ferry pier operated at the foot of Broadway. Southern Pacific-Golden Gate auto ferries ceased operation shortly after the San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge and Golden Gate Bridge opened. A few of the larger ferries were purchased by the Richmond-San Rafael Ferry Company to shuttle automobiles between Richmond and San Rafael, but most were sold for use in Puget Sound.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe surviving auto ferries were idled when the Richmond–San Rafael Bridge opened in 1956.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eRelated Collections\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/trolley\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/maritime\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconNEWMaritime.png?v=1696003967\" width=\"130\" height=\"122\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/ferry-companies\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconNEWFerryCompanies.png?v=1724797272\" width=\"130\" height=\"122\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/rare-pieces\"\u003e\u003cimg height=\"122\" width=\"130\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconNEWRarePieces.png?v=1695993780\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/ferry-companies\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/san-francisco-california\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconNEWSanFranciscoCalifornia.png?v=1697198595\" width=\"130\" height=\"122\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/california\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconNEWCalifornia.png?v=1695991131\" width=\"130\" height=\"122\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ghosts of Wall Street","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68090445693176,"sku":"3112consB","price":18.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/3112b.png?v=1794590579","url":"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/products\/southern-pacific-golden-gate-company-san-francisco-ferries","provider":"Ghosts of Wall Street","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
