A map of San Francisco Bay, showing the location of Blossom Rock, is needed. A photo showing the present location would also be useful.Bruin2 (talk) 15:40, 21 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

Reverted revision of 1/17/19 edit

I have just restored the article version as it appeared before today, when a User deleted what he took to be a redundant depth measurement of Blossom Rock. Here's how the seeming redundancy occurred. I had intentionally included the depth measurement of 16 feet, in hopes of clarifying users that it was the depth where Williamson's crew stopped blasting, since initially he was credited with removing the navigational obstruction. Further blasting was performed by others a short while later. The final depth of rock removal was 40 feet, but that was not achieved until 1974 (nearly a century later).

Repeating the 16-foot depth was an attempt to clarify what Williamson accomplished, and not simply a redundancy. Maybe there is a simpler way to explain this line of reasoning. Bruin2 (talk) 22:48, 17 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
