Would like to know anything about this rock, I saw it on an old map of 1894, and I know it existed to the 1920ies. Its location was east of the Life Saving Station, close to Crissy Field not far from the shore. This was not Shag Rock! Any clues or pictures, anyone?

Thanx for help!

The rock is still there and is used a lot on navigating for yacht races. Here are a few sites that turned up on a search tht might be interesting:

Yachts must not interfere with large commercial vessels, naval vessels or tugs and their tows."
