Port of Oakland Free Harbor Tours

Wednesday, July 9th, 2008

afdee87946961f6fb220d35a21039145 Port of Oakland Free Harbor Tours pictureThe Port of Oakland is offering FREE Harbor Tours this season for all of you Oakland History buffs. I have personally gone on this tour twice and would like to say that Pamela and Laura are great tour guides. You take a nice slow cruise through the Ports Harbor viewing all of the ships and cranes! It’s pretty amazing and you get to hear a lot of facts and history you just may have never learned otherwise. It is also a GREAT chance to take pictures of the cranes as well! Be sure to visit the Port of Oakland‘s official website to sign up today! Hurry before it’s too late! And who knows, you may even see me on board taking pictures.
*UPDATE* As many of you know they are NOT doing the Tour this year(2009). Sad but true.
