Here is a clip from the Oakland Tribune on the opening.

CLOSE ON THE heels of the new Mikado opening
comes word that shortly another fine restaurant will
grace Jack London Square. Located in the Port of Oakland
building, as is the Japanese dinery, the new addition,
called the Castaway, will feature Polynesian dishes.
An outside elevator will take diners to the rooftop restaurant
which will overlook the Estuary and San Francisco
skyline.

Here is a photo of the Port of Oakland Building with the outside elevator and the Castaway sign. Some great views from the top floor.

And a menu featuring the ship logo that was also used at the Pieces of Eight Restaurant.
