On February 16, 2008, visitors to the Treasure Island Yacht Club viewed exhibits on the Golden Gate International Exposition, the sea services in the Pacific, and the history of Treasure Island. Although the Museum's collection remains in U.S. Navy storage, the Association was able to prepare this temporary exhibit by drawing on members' private collections and material provided by the Treasure Island Development Authority. |
