Thank you for the pictures. I used to live in the bay area and your pics make me wish i had spent more time exploring places like hunter's point.

I did a google search titled Hunters Point Ship Yard
Nd it gave me 153,000 hits to choose form. But yet I have yet to reach 1000 of those in a 5h 30m of brosing a page or two alond the way and book marking otyhers to come back to later. The thing is mosterous. But I also noticed that it is not getting the media attention that godziila failure of media's responciblity to the citenzery deserves, and thats including the Politico aspcet as well.
I'm neither surpried or shocked. But we all now need to tend to the rousing of the people awarness.

I was a civilian employee from 1956 to 1963. I completed an apprenticeship in the old Shop 31.

As far as I know, hunters point is a crime ridden area nowadays. I wouldn't even risk driving through there.

I've lived here for over a year now. You seldom hear that HP has the highest homeownership rate in the city, that it's one of the last places in San Francisco that working-class people can afford to live in, that the weather is the best in the city, that it's home to what might be the largest artists' colony in the country.
It's true that crime and pollution are problems here, but things could be much worse. Don't knock it until you've tried it.

I worked in the shipyard as an engineer in the Design Division from 1968 until it closed in 1973. It was my first job after graduation. I retired from PSNS in 1996. I dearly miss the great people I worked with at Hunter's Point. The crew there was outstanding. It was a gigantic mistake closing such a capable and effective facility. Thank you for the pictures. They bring back many great memories.

Hey man thanks for your pohotos! I'm a photographer from San Francisco who has always been interested in this part of town, but I don't want to risk going down there with my camera because it's THE most dangerous neighberhood in the city. It's such a shame that the city government just ignores the place.

I was a (Corpsman/Dental Tech.at Hunters Point from ' 68 to' 71. My first wife,(who passed away in '76), and I lived in the housing above the main gate, and after work at the clinic I used to bartend at the old EM club. My one and only daughter, was also born there. Been looking for YEARS for anyone who may have taken photos in and around the "point" for memory sake, and my daughter's keep sake of her mother, seein as how, I lost most, if not all, pictures I HAD in a basement flood YEARS ago
Anyone that may have any old photos, please contact me

I moved to hunters point in 1985. my mother was healthy until 1990 or 1995. Since then she's had surgery to take her thyroid glans out because they were invested with cancer. And although I've been moved from there since 2001, my thyroid glans hurt on a daily, eventhough they can't find anything yet. "The fact that the navy ship yard is of no use to anyone, and has been proven to be fatal,but still has not been dispursed of is an obvious form of homocide. Richmond residents got paid for some of there health problems, what's up with some Hunters Point justice.

Hello,
My dad was head of Shop 31 when the Shipyard was closed. I would like to know if anyone remember;s him. His name was Richard Lewis and he usually went by his nickname "Dick". I would like to know if anyone has pictures or access to the shop, I would love to see the shop before it is torn down.
Thanks.

I lived on Donahue Street - at the corner of Donahue & Innes - in the mid-1950s (attended Fairmount Elementary School, Mrs. Meshirer was one of my two teachers). Does anyone have photographs of the Innes/Donahue area, from that period? I've had this e-mail address for many years, and will keep it, so any attempts to reply will not be wasted time. GENUINE thanks!

I've had a quest, for old personal photos of this area for of course memories, but, before 'Nam I was stationed there with my new 1st wife,(AND my one and only daughter was born out there), and we lived on the a street called Tisdale. She had to go back home in '70, because I got new orders. When "I" got home in late '70, within 1 year she was diagnosed with Leukemia, and passed away in '75. The only photos "I HAD" of back then were ruined in a basement flood - Hense, my quest all these years, (mostly for my daughter). If anyone out there who may have lived on base housing - Please contact me - Thanks
