If you wear it, eat it, or drive it in the Bay Area, it almost certainly came through the Port of Oakland. This episode of Eye On The Bay is produced by Dave Stoelk, and he's arranged for us to hop aboard the MSC Judith as she's guided toward the Port by Bar Pilot Mike Sweeney. Dave shows us how to operate one of the massive cranes, and along the way you'll see how things get from there (usually China, of course) to here. A bit of history, too, about how and why Oakland stole the crown of busiest seaport from San Francisco in the 1960s. Brian Hackney hosts.
