The voyages of ships and boats link San Francisco with the region, the nation, and the world.
The people who have made these voyages shaped the nature of the city and defined its place in American history and culture.
The six lessons in this unit explore the connections between people, maritime history and the development of California.
The lessons are based on the artifacts, photographs and ideas found in the San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park. They relate directly to exhibits in the park visitor center.
These lessons can be used to enhance your visit to the park, and in the classroom. They connect to the California State Education Content Standards and Framework for Grades 4-6. |

Loading ports are small, watertight doors in a ship's hull that lead directly into the hold. Lumber could be more easily loaded into the hold through these ports rather than through the smaller hatches on the deck. These ports had to be caulked shut before the ship put to sea.
