His symbolic task, Brown said, "ended a decade of work by many, many people to achieve this underwater rapid transit tube." The ceremony was held aboard a barge southwest of Yerba Buena Island, midway between Oakland and San Francisco. Some 200 elected officials, guests of the Bay Area Rapid Transit District, watched the ceremony from a nearby boat. were picketed, in turn, by two small boats which circled the dredge carrying sign-wielding members of an organization called Justice On Bay Area Rapid Transit (JOBART). The messages on the signs in-eluded "End Discrimination on BART jobs" and "Fair Prices for Our Homes." Before boarding the boat which took him to the dredge, 'Brown talked with other JOBART pickets at the Clay Street pier in Oakland. The ceremony was enlivened by one incident.

"Three years from now, the first trains will speed from the heart of Oakland to the heart of San Francisco I assure you I want to be here on that day," Brown said. "In a prosaic sense, this tube will be built of steel and concrete sections, joined together in the mud on the floor of the bay. It will stretch for four miles from the Ferry Building to Oakland, and it will be the longest tube of its kind in the world."
