Description
Offbeat and little known stories about the San Francisco Southern waterfront will come to life.The tales will detail how bums repeatedly caused a wharf to burn, why writer Jack London was ripped off when he ordered a yacht, and where severe anti-Chinese feelings made many of them jobless.
Those and many other stories, plus a slide show, will highlight a lecture by Stephen Canright, curator of Maritime History.
