Lumber Schooner CA THAYER Interpretive Panels
NPS THAYER passing beneath the Bay Bridge on her voyage back to the park with the assistance of a tugboat. The very top of the tug's cabin is just visible on the starboard side of THAYER. Below are PDF files of the interpretive panels that were on the 1895 lumber schooner C. A. Thayer. Thayer left the pier in 2003 and spent the next four years at a shipyard in Alameda, California undergoing a massive rehabilitation. The panels were removed in preparation for that project and will eventually be reinstalled on the vessel. Thayer returned to Hyde Street Pier in 2007 where work continues on the deckhouse.
