Guys, when you are mention "Fort point" do you mean "Torpedo Wharf pier"? Or it is place more left - under Golden Gate?
Thanks

No, I said some call it the Torpedo Wharf (it's initial use). Fort Point Pier is the correct name. It has not been used as a wharf for torpedoes for decades. Times have changed. When refurbished as a fishing pier it was simply given a new name.​
