Before the Golden Gate Bridge was built, the only way to drive north from San Francisco was to cross the bay on a ferryboat. The Golden Gate Ferry Company began service to Sausalito in 1922, and Hyde Street Pier officially became part of Route 101, the state’s “Redwood Highway.” When the Golden Gate Bridge opened in 1937, that became the highway link, and the Hyde Street passenger ferries were soon shut down.
