After my recent visit to Chinatown, I couldn't resist stopping in at our Maritime Historical Park.
All shot with the E-1 and 12-60, with CPL.
First is the Balclutha, built in Glascow for worldwide transport of cargo (seventeen trips around the Cape Horn). She is preserved here because in final years was used to haul salmon from Alaska. Can also be seen in the film Mutiny on the Bounty.
Steam tug Hercules, with Alcatraz distant...
Passenger ferry Eureka, part of a fleet rendered (mostly) obsolete by the construction of the Golden Gate Bridge. And what a challenge for the E-1, a brilliant white hull surrounded by dark water.
The smaller ship is the Eppleton Hall, a Tyne River tug, the only intact one in existence. After an extensive resoration in the sixties, she crossed the Atlantic under power to reside here.
The Alma, a scow schooner barge, built to carry goods around the various ports in San Francisco Bay. Is still in service as an educational vessel.
