The Lone Sailor

This is a memorial to everyone whoever

sailed out the Golden Gate in the

service of their Country – in the Navy,

the Marine Corps, the Coast Guard, the

Merchant Marine.

A ship heading for sea passes directly

by this spot at the northern end of the

Golden Gate. Here the Sailor fees the

First long roll of the sea, the

beginning of the endless horizon that

leads to the far Pacific.

There is one last chance to look back

at the city of San Francisco, shining on

its hills, one last chance to look back

at the coastline of the United States,

one last chance to look back at home.

Thousands and thousands of American

Seafarers have sailed pas this place, in

peace and war, to defend this Country

and its sea frontiers. Many of them

never returned. This monument is

dedicated to the ordinary Sailors and

Marines who sailed from this place and

did their duty.
