Description
How did San Francisco develop from a tiny harbor town in the mid-1800s into one of the 20th century’s major international ports? Join park rangers through San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park and its immediate environs for glimpses into the waterfront’s – and therefore the city’s – evolution.
Points of interest include the former Del Monte Plant No. 1, once the largest fruit and vegetable cannery in the world; Hyde Street Pier, home to a fleet of historic cargo and passenger vessels; and Aquatic Park, a legacy of the Works Progress Administration. Other sites may include Fort Mason, the Fisherman’s and Seaman’s Memorial Chapel, Fisherman’s Wharf, and other landmarks on the old northern waterfront.
