San Francisco Bay Is Filled with Boats, but What Do They Do?

Reading the word barges instantly reminded me of the Google Barge. Does anyone know the story behind it and what ended up happening to it?

Let&#x27;s not forget the freighters that pass <i>through</i> the Bay and travel up to Pittsburg and Stockton -- incredible!

Nice writeup. A website with no annoying popups or &quot;call to action&quot;? Cool.

I wished they talked more about the ferries and personal boats in the article.<p>Also fun fact: San Jose used to have a port for exporting animal hide up in Alviso

In terms of scale, in 2017, the port of Oakland handled 2,388,000 TEUs (a TEU being a 20 foot equivalent unit, essentially, a shipping container). During that same year, the port of Shanghai, the busiest port in the world, handled 40,233,000 TEUs. Rotterdam, the busiest western European port, handled 13,734,000 TEUs.
