This terminal originally served as the North Pacific Coast Railroad's connection point for ferries to San Francisco.[1] The railroad was bought by the Northwestern Pacific Railroad which shifted all passenger rail and San Francisco ferry service to Sausalito in 1909, leaving Tiburon freight-only; shuttle passenger ferries from Tiburon to Sausalito continued until 1933.[2] Freight rail service ended September 25, 1967.[3] In 1959 the Angel Island–Tiburon Ferry began service. Commuter service to San Francisco was resumed by Red & White Fleet (then known as Harbor Carriers) in 1962.[4][5] This service was taken over by Blue & Gold Fleet in 1997 and by Golden Gate Ferry on March 6, 2017.[6]
