Stories, Memories, Factoids and Fragments of the Imagination....
 

This place is magical.

In the sixties the Vallejo was quite the hangout. Jean Varda, a painter, and Alan Watts, Zen Buddist philosopher, lived aboard. Along with them were the "dancing girls." An old ferryboat moored in Sausalito, the SS Vallejo has transformed lives, but as of late has become a charming, quaint, dilapitated fleabag.

Her current state of ruin is being battled by a few crazy guys, one of which hopes to restore her to working order.

This website is an attempt to tell some of the Vallejo's past and present.
