The Sisters were shown in an 1850 survey map of the San Francisco Bay area made by Cadwalader Ringgold.[2] They, along with The Brothers on the opposite side of the San Pablo Strait, were reserved for military purposes by order of President Andrew Johnson in 1867. After many a court battle the plans were scrapped.[3]
