Arrival of Maltese Falcon

For a few fleeting seconds this afternoon one great symbol met another - when one of the world's most luxurious private yachts, the Maltese Falcon, sailed beneath the Golden Gate Bridge on her first visit to San Francisco.

A fire boat sprayed a watery greeting, small boats accompanied her and a helicopter flew overhead taking pics.
