Maritime San Francisco
San Francisco has, of course, had a long maritime history. For much of the 19th century, shipping was the primary way to move good in and out of San Francisco, and not a few visitors and new residents of the city and the region came by ship as well. At the San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park, the National Park Service preserves a number of historic vessels at the Hyde Street Pier. While visiting San Francisco in November, I enjoyed my time at the park. Photography from the ships and elsewhere in San Francisco Bay can be found in my Maritime San Francisco gallery.
