I am the last Navy Director at Pt. Molate and retired in 1996. The building was built in 1908 to with stand earthqukes. The concrete walls have steel I beams in them and about 3 foot thick. The basement housing the Atomic shelter was reestablished as a control point in the Loma Prieta earthquake in 1989. When the bridge went out we contacted Treasure Island and found they needed diapers and milk badly. Cdr. Charles Vickers, collected donations from employees and housing Navy personnel and sent his wife to the store to buy diapers, milk and other items. We hauled them to T. I. with our twin engine boats, until they could get what the needed from regular sources. Winehaven saved France from the grape disease plaque, by sending loads of wine by clipper ships. Originally clipper ships could come right up the the storage warehouses, as there was deep water. The Navy later filled the area in. What a great place and history this place has.
