The scow schooner ALMA, with white sails raised, sailing on SF Bay.

ALMA was built in 1891 in little boatyard on the southernmost bay front of San Francisco, just north of Hunters Point Navy Yard. She mostly worked in the South Bay carrying salt from the southern salt ponds. She has been rebuilt several times and now sails on the Bay often, carrying passengers.
