Talk of the Point

Correspondent Andrew Butt writes in response to last week’s item noting a Chronicle story about East Brother Light Station.

Regarding your post about the film “Blood Alley” being filmed on East Brother Island, the Chronicle article actually says that it was filmed (or part of it was filmed) at the Point San Pablo Yacht Harbor, which is accurate. At the Galley Cafe, located at the Point San Pablo Yacht Harbor, where guests board a boat to the Island, they have posters of the movie on the wall, as well as a clipping that describes the filming. If my recollection is correct, there was a scene where a ship was razed and sunk in the waters just off the harbor shoreline. At low tide, remnants of the old wooden hull can still be seen protruding from the water.

Additionally, the article gave the wrong name of the harbor. The name is Point San Pablo Yacht Harbor, not Point San Pedro Yacht Harbor.
