History:
Glen
Cove Marina's "white
Victorian house" was
originally built as a twenty-eight
room residence as part of
the Carquinez Straight Lighthouse
and Life Saving Station, which
was located at the entrance
to the deep-water channel
leading to Mare Island and
the Napa River. First occupied
on January 15, 1910, the lighthouse
was one of a chain of 17 stations
that started at the entrance
to the San Francisco Bay (Point
Bonita) and ended at Poe Island
in Suisun Bay.
In
1955, the US Coast Guard automated
the light and fog horn mechanisms,
and the main building of the
Carquinez Straight Lighthouse
was sold to a private party
who, in 1957, moved the building
by barge up the Straight to
its present position at Elliot
Cove, overlooking the scenic
marina.
Of
the 17 original lighthouse
buildings, only two others
remain in existence: the St.
Francis Yacht Club on Tinsley
Island, and the East Brother's
lighthouse in San Pablo Bay
(now a bed and breakfast establishment). |
The
"Galley Cafe"
&"Tide-You-Over
Market" is
a cozy nook with seating
for 14 in the Marina.
The owners are focused
on good food, as well
as setting up a little
store to supply the local
townspeople as well as
boaters. |
