DESCRIPTION:Join us on Oct. 22nd 2005 at the San Francisco Maritime Park on the Tall 
 Ship Balclutha for an exciting evening exploring 19th Century Tall Ship 
 history of San Francisco. The Tall Ships of San Francisco is a collection 
 of 1,500 daguerreotype (glass plate) photographs discovered in 2003 and not 
 seen by the public in over 100 years! This incredible collection of tall 
 ship photographs documents the largest ships of sail built on the U.S. west 
 coast and home ported at San Francisco. Over 65 blue water tall ships, 
 never before documented in history books or seen in Maritime Museums will 
 be shown to the public. Included in this magnificent fleet of ships that 
 called San Francisco home, was THE only true Clipper Ship built on the west 
 coast, The Western Shore c.1874. This magnificent clipper sailed out of San 
 Francisco setting several sailing records that have not been bested to this 
 day. One of the Western Shore’s Captains would be mortally injured while 
 being towed out of the bay, bleeding to death on the deck while the ship 
 drifted precariously close to the rocky beach of Alcatraz Island. Finally 
 in 1878 under suspicious circumstances, the Western Shore sunk quite 
 dramatically right outside the Golden Gate on the Duxbury Reef complex. 
 This is the history of but one of over 65 tall ships, just discovered! All 
 this history and more will be presented to the public for the first time! 
 Discovered along with the these previously unpublished images were shipyard 
 blueprints hand drawn on onion skin and hand drawn shipwreck maps over 4’ 
 tall. All this history and much more will be shown to the public in a one 
 hour narrated slide show presentation held on board the Tall Ship 
 Balclutha. Show time is 6:00 pm. As seating is limited onboard ship we 
 encourage you to make reservations. Please see this link for further 
 details and reservation contacts
