Knott, of the San Francisco District Headquarters Station, greeting a prospective recruit on Yerba Island, midway between San Francisco and Oakland. The splendid view is an excellent piece of photographic art and shows the famous San Francisco skyline and the western portion of the eight-mile long San Francisco Bay bridge. Yerba Island, former home of the United States Naval Training Station on the Pacific Coast, is now the home of the Marine Detachment, Receiving Ship, at San Francisco and adjoins Treasure Island, site of the Golden Gate Exposition, which is being converted into the United States Navy Patrol Force Headquarters and Section base.
