yerba buena
the idea of a military post on yerba buena island originated during the american civil war, when it was feared a raiding confederate warship could slip past fort point and alcatraz island during a foggy night. however, it was not until the 1870s that army post camp yerba buena island (a.k.a. army post camp decature a.k.a. army post at goat island a.k.a. us engineer depot, yerba buena island and a.k.a. us quartermaster depot, yerba buena island) by navy road and north gate road was completed, including a fog signal and octagonal lighthouse called yerba buena light (1875) that remain today at the end of hillcrest road. in 1891, the united states army engineers (now known as the united states army corps of engineers) built a torpedo station / shed / storehouse / assembly building (building 262) at the end of army road by north gate road. the torpedoes were actually floating mines that could be placed in the bay via cable for defense against intruding enemy vessels. the torpedo station was abandoned in the 1930s but still stands today (hidden underneath the san francisco-oakland bay bridge) listed in the national register of historic places.
