Step into the past as you board the historic ships and meet the sailors and citizens of San Francisco's waterfront. Visit the ship's cook in the galley, learn about life in 1901 from ferry passengers on Eureka, join Mrs. Galan on the Ark houseboat for afternoon tea to discuss the issues of the day, and join the musical fun on Balclutha at the afternoon dogwatch. In June, come hear notable figures of 1901 at a Chautauqua. In July, witness a dramatic re-creation of the 1901 labor strike that shook the San Francisco waterfront.
