12:12 p.m. – The Ferry Building, San Francisco, California
Bay Crossings is a private company that runs a ticket shop for the ferries plying San Francisco Bay. It is also a tourist information center. The company's kiosk in the Ferry Building features a massive clock with a significant history. It used to hang in the main waiting room of the Oakland Mole, the East Bay’s Ferry Building.
The Oakland Long Wharf, later known as the Oakland Pier or as the Southern Pacific Mole was a massive railroad wharf and ferry pier in Oakland, California. It was located at the foot of Seventh Street and was the terminus for trains arriving from the East; passengers would disembark and connect with ferries to complete their trip to San Francisco. It was demolished in the 1960s to make way for an expansion of the burgeoning Port of Oakland’s container ship facilities. The mole in its latter years can be seen at the beginning of the 1957 movie Pal Joey as Frank Sinatra’s character makes his way to the ferry.
The clock weighs over 300 pounds and is 8 feet in diameter. It will keep accurate time, thanks to a new workings obtained from Balzer Family Clockworks in Maine.
