DESCRIPTION:Henry George, San Francisco’s 1870s champion of workers’ rights, used 
 his newspaper to rein in the bully boss in 1873 in a celebrated maritime 
 case. Come hear living history veteran David Giesen portray George telling 
 his side of the “Sunrise” incident. Three sailors committed suicide 
 rather than endure the tyranny of a brutal captain on a New York to San 
 Francisco voyage in the Spring of 1873. George’s San Francisco Post 
 bucked the maritime bosses, pressing the case with its own special counsel, 
 and challenging the absolute rule of ship captains. Are you ready to rock 
 the boat? George will have you on your feet as he licks into everything 
 that capsizes workers’ rights. ($5.00 Pier entry fee - good for one year)
