- **Event Description**: We begin this tour not as you’d expect, with the Navy, but with the Army-Air Corps’ Benton Field. Dennis will explain how the Army got here first and how Benton was not the only airport in the neighborhood. He will surprise us with stories of two other nearby airports and their interesting roles they played. This tour will focus on how the Navy extended the shoreline here further west to meet their needs. He will tell us of two interesting November dates and show us how the Navy moved in and how they finally moved out. The City of Alameda and the Navy slowly met years of cleanup and infrastructure repair head on. We’ll take a close look at where all this stands today with a visit to the area around Seaplane Lagoon. This tour will also be held on Sunday, October 18.
