San Francisco Dedicates New Ferry Terminal C.J. Hendry Company

Announces Appointments

Fred Barg, vice president, C.J.

Hendry Co., San Francisco, Calif., announces two major changes within the firm's branch in south- ern California.

Warren (Scotty) Phalen re- turns to the company as branch manager, San Pedro, with Wally

Lynn designated as assistant man- ager. Ms. Jean Herring was named office manager.

Messrs. Phalen, Barg and Lynn are certainly no strangers to each other as it was Mr. Phalen who was responsible for showing Mr.

Barg and Mr. Lynn the ship chan- dlery business in the early days of their meeting.

Mr. Phalen, San Pedro-born and educated, began with C.J. Hendry in 1937, with Mr. Barg joining the southern California branch in 1940. Mr. Phalen left for U.S.

Army service in 1942, returning in 1946. He returned to Hendry after spending over 25 years with

Marine Hardware.

Mr. Lynn, also a San Pedro man, was employed at Marine

Hardware until he joined the C.J.

Hendry firm in 1977.

Mr. Phalen replaces John Iam- arino, who resigned to accept a position with Crowley Maritime

Corp., Terminal Island, Calif. In a personal letter, Mr. Barg ex- pressed his appreciation for past services rendered, and wished Mr.

Iamarino well in his new venture.

C.J. Hendry, ship chandlers since 1865, are not only noted for their marine services, but are con- sidered safety manufacturing spe- cialists for the marine and indus- trial industries. Their San Fran- cisco manufacturing line includes

Sea Jay chemicals and safety products such as Elliott life rafts, rope ladders, tarps and covers, nets, stretchers, and pump room and rescue equipment. They are also authorized service represent- atives for US Rubber life rafts in San Francisco.

With Mayor George Moscone declaring the Golden Gate Bridge

District Ferry System "an im- portant transportation link to San

Francisco's new downtown," civic dignitaries and U.S. Department of Transportation officials recent- ly dedicated the new $3-million

San Francisco Ferry Terminal at the foot of Market Street east of the historic Ferry Building.

Stephan C. Leonoudakis, Bridge

District director, stated that every five passengers that ride Golden

Gate ferries or buses remove four automobiles from the Golden Gate

Bridge congestion.

The new Ferry Terminal, under construction since early 1977, was 80 percent funded by the Urban

Mass Transportation Administra- tion (UMTA) of the U.S. Depart- ment of Transportation. UMTA has provided better than 70 per- cent of the financing for the

District's three modern Jacuzzi water-jet-propelled ferryboats and the converted ship that makes the

Sausalito run.

Golden Gate Ferry System's new $3-million terminal is shown here behind San

Francisco's historic Ferry Building. At dockside is one of the Ferry System's three

Jacuzzi water-jet-propelled ferryboats, which carry 750 passengers each across San

Francisco Bay to Larkspur in Marin County.
