On July 13th, 1898, the San Francisco Ferry Building opened on the Embarcadero, a gateway to a promising new world of ideas, trade and travel. 

The beaux-arts style building with its 245-foot high clock tower has withstood two global pandemics and two devastating earthquakes.

125 years later after the first vessel arrived there, KCBS Radio's Mallory Somera got to attend San Francisco's Very Ferry Birthday to celebrate its resiliency and the plans to move forward as climate change challenges the coasts.
