Underwater Scan of Bay Turns Up Lost Vessel, Sort Of

A small boat outfitted with all sorts of strange contraptions began trolling back and forth along Torpedo Wharf, just a few hundred yards south of the Golden Gate Bridge in the San Francisco Bay. The throngs of fishermen casting their lines from the old wooden pier watched the boat warily — noting curiously that it didn’t actually possess anything resembling fishing gear — in the midst of striped bass season.
