tallshipssfo@comcast.net Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 Tall Ships of San Fransico® are a collection of 1,500 glass plate negative photographs not seen in over 130 years! In 2003 a discovery of historic proportions was made when 17 old wooden crates were opened for the first time in a century, and inside was the biggest story in west coast maritime history. None of these images have appeared in print until now. As we assemble the full history of this magnificent fleet of west coast built tall ships for an upcoming book, we are making a small number of prints available to the public. Ideal for home, office or on board decoration. Perfect art work for seafood restaurants!

Mission Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 Thanks for the news. While this is interesting, I think it would better fit the topics in the Captain Twill forum. So - off she goes!

But initially he wanted to be a pirate." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mission Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 Oops! My bad, I didn't read the post very closely - I thought he was referring to photos of tall ships from the first two sentences. Unfortunately, I can't move posts from this forum. Sorry 'bout that! Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective.

Mission Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 When I was in San Fran, I found out that during this era (the Gold Rush), people would just run their boats aground in the harbor and abandon them in their hurry to get a piece of the gold pie. I guess the government covered many of the ships over to extend the land in the city. Chinatown used to be right on the harbor.

Patrick Hand Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 I'd think that it would be more appriot in Capt. Twill, even if some of the prints are for Sail (sorry) Finding that many photographic plates of ships.... wow..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
