| Summary |
This photograph shows the incredible number of ship masts filling the San Francisco Harbor. The majority of fortune-seekers arrived in California by ship, and these ships were often abandoned when the crew took off forℓthe gold mines. The wood from shipsℓwas recycled and helped build the city, becoming warehouses, shops, hotels and homes. One ship was even anchored offshore andℓused as a prison.ℓ |
