Description
Folder: S.F. Parks-Aquatic-Plans & Proposals. Permission to use this image must be obtained from the San Francisco History Center, San Francisco Public Library: www.sfpl.org/permissions. On back: San Francisco Maritime Museum David Nelson PRospect 6-1175. This is an artist's conception of the development of "Argonaut Bay" on the shores of the Aquatic Park Lagoon. In the foreground the Maritime Museum committee plans to moor the last of the windjammers once so numerous in the bay. Forward of the big square rigger would be a typical Sacramento Riverboat, historically accurate in every respect. On the lands now lying fallow east of the Maritime Museum building, plans calls for a landscaped area leaving one portion as an old time bay area shipyard with early day hulls on the ways. In this area too, would be drawn up an early day scow schooner, and Amundson's northwest passage sloop The Gjoa. Additional details call for a railroad roundhouse to be erected in the landscaped area to house some 18 pieces of historic rolling stock already donated to the museum. Hubert Buel listed as artist.
