We visited the National Maritime National Park and Museum Saturday. We were able to board and explore four historic ships. Here are some photos.
Is this the fore deck or the poop deck?
The colored sails tend to hang out together and the white ones together. Purposeful?
Steam tugboat with colorful sailboats in the background.
I don't think Nathaniel was supposed to ring the bell. It drew the attention of a docent who came over to tell the (long) story of how the bell was rung every half hour because the sailors didn't have watches. He described how many "dings" would be rung for a particular time and demonstrated by saying ding that many times with meaningful pauses.
In front of Eureka - a fancy ferry that used to run between San Francisco and Sacramento.
Nathaniel loves to explore and try things out. We visited the park and museum for him and the Ghirardelli shop for Davis.
Russian Hill in the background (Davis wasn't fast enough to get out of the shot).
Photo-willing family members with Golden Gate Bridge in the background.
Of course, what trip down to the waterfront could be complete without a visit to Ghirardelli Square. The hot chocolate is a definite desert, not just a beverage.
