Description
Steam Day at San Francisco Maritime
Enjoy this monthly event celebrating West Coast marine steam technology.
Donkey Engine Demonstration: Join park staff for a demonstration of the park's steam-powered donkey engine. Engines such as these were used both ashore and aboard ship for loading cargo, raising anchor and setting sails. This program involves steaming up the boiler and operating this historic piece of machinery. The engine will be running 11am-4pm.
In the case of inclement weather, a "spare the air" day, or other unforseeable circumstance, these programs may be cancelled. Please call 415-447-5000 for updates and details.
