File:Fort Mason Center and Downtown San Francisco.jpg to appear as POTD soon
Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Fort Mason Center and Downtown San Francisco.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on March 27, 2011. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2011-03-27. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :) Thanks!  howcheng  {chat} 18:46, 24 March 2011 (UTC)

Fort Mason was not the San Francisco Port of Embarkation
While it was the core and HQ the redirect from "San Francisco Port of Embarkation" to this article is misleading at best. The SFPOE was second only to the New York Port of Embarkation in scope, size, troop and cargo shipped with functions far beyond the peacetime ones of the Fort Mason center. Need to develop the SFPOE as a separate article linking here. Palmeira (talk) 22:27, 2 November 2014 (UTC)

New article covering the San Francisco Port of Embarkation created. Pointer from this article. Some revision here is probably needed as it takes a modern, partly erase history approach. For Mason had a long history, becoming an important Army port facility well before creation of the POE in 1932. The fort itself was dwarfed by the full SFPOE set of some 13 facilities including the massive one in Oakland. Palmeira (talk) 00:32, 30 August 2021 (UTC)
