The Niantic anchored in Yerba Buena Cove


Recommended Posts

July 5, 1849
The Niantic anchored in Yerba Buena Cove. Later - as there were few buildings in San Francisco - her owners dragged her onto the mudflats to turn her into a storage and auction house for imported goods plus build a hotel on her deck. Today her historic site is beside the Transamerica Pyramid.

To put in perspective... 'bout a half-mile of buildings built on fill - the bottom layer of the fill is boat hulls.  :rolleyes:
