The Court of Pacifica Fountain
The decorative banners along the sides of the court hung from poles topped with ornamentation resembling the crow’s nest of a ship. Sixty-foot pylons were topped with sculptures of ships’ prows created by P. O. Tognelli of San Francisco.

The Fountain of Western Waters
The Fountain of Western Waters in the Court of Pacifica, was removed by the Navy in 1942 and replaced with the hand-made, terra cotta Pacific Basin Fountain originally displayed in Pacific House. This fountain and sixteen of the original Pacific Unity sculptures from the Court were in place until 1994. At that time, six of the sculptures were restored by the Treasure Island Museum and moved to the front of Treasure Island’s Building One, and the remaining statues and fountain placed in storage. The original site was then covered by a parking lot.
