Rebuilding The 'Pacifica'

Treasure Island is an Artificial Island in San Francisco Bay, that once functioned as; an airport, a home to the 1939-40 San Francisco World's Fair, and a Naval Outpost. Long abandoned it is now being redeveloped as a residential area, complete with; high-rises, a large park, an organic farm, wind farm, schools, and Police & Fire Departments. The 'Pacifica' was an 80ft Tall statue, created by artist Ralph Stackpole, that once stood on Treasure Island during the World's Fair. A symbol of endurance, beauty and Pacific unity, the statue was often referred to as the "'Statue Of Liberty' of the West". After standing for 372 days, in 1941, the statue was demolished. Now a non-profit group is attempting to restore a replica of the 'Pacifica' to the island. And they're depending on public contributions to do it.
