Home of the Mothball Fleet

The Mothball Fleet as Seen From Shore
Benicia is located in the East Bay region of the San Francisco Bay Area. It is on the shore of the Carquinez Straight. From Benicia, the National Defense Reserve Fleet, or Mothball Fleet, can be observed.

If you are interested in a tour of the Mothball Feet, check out the tip found on my Martinez page for a public
tour cruise of the fleet.

 The mothball fleet is impressive but I understand that locals prefer that it would be removed!

 Good mothball details! Bridge fare high? Chicago skyway is $8- and its little more than a railroad tressle spanning over an industrial yard!...alan

 Thanks for the informative page Steve! You do have a lot of knowledge re: off-the-beaten path destinations in Northern California.

 Great read again!! As for the transportation tip I came to think it's kinda odd that Germany hasn't set any tolls on any highways whatsoever.
