AYALA'S VIEW
During the summer of 1775, the Spanish naval vessel San Carlos, under the command of Juan Manuel de Ayala, made the first European entry into San Francisco Bay. Ayala anchored off Angel Island, giving it the present-day name (Isla de los Angeles). This photograph of the emerging skyline of San Francisco was made from Angel Island [the tall building is the Transamerica Building].
