Church of St. Peter & St. Paul, next is Coit Tower
15 March 1999

The church of St. Peter and St. Paul in Washington Square. It's claim to fame? Joe DiMaggio married Marilyn Monroe here - or so the narrator on our cruise wrongly claimed!

Actually, it was here that DiMaggio married his first wife, actress Dorothy Arnold, Nov. 19, 1939 where police had to be called to control 10,000 fans! He married Marilyn Monroe in San Francisco city hall Jan. 14, 1954 and was this time was mobbed by only 500 fans.
