    Default Short video on Chrysopyle

    I don't know much about this boat, and I have no connection to it, but I saw this today on 'Lectronic Latitude and thought someone here might be interested. It's a neat piece on a historic SF Bay boat:

    If the boat is supposed to be named after the passage that is spanned by the Golden Gate Bridge, it's spelled wrong. John Fremont named it Chrysopylae in 1846: http://gocalifornia.about.com/cs/san...ggbridge_3.htm
