Over the last 160 years, industry and recreation have changed San Francisco’s northern waterfront. San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park preserves one of the few authentic glimpses into the city’s development as an international port.
Learn how this scenic park was an early battleground in the fight between preservation and development on Saturdays & Sundays, 10:30am, through August 2008, at the Argonaut Hotel, 495 Jefferson St.
Take a stroll with a Park Ranger through the Aquatic Park Historic District and Fisherman’s Wharf to discover the vibrant history of this waterfront area.
The tour is free, one hour long, and covers a distance of about one mile, with some gently sloping and uneven terrain. Meet in the lobby of the Argonaut Hotel, 495 Jefferson Street, near the corner of Jefferson and Hyde Streets. Dress in layers and wear good walking shoes. -- www.nps.gov
