It was taken from Rincon Point, and the inner end of Yerba Buena Cove appears at the far left. Looking toward the right, the outlines of Nob Hill and Russian Hill are visible, with Mount Tamalpais on the distant horizon. Nearer the middle of the picture, beyond the forest of masts of deserted ships which hides the wharves, rises Telegraph Hill with the semaphore telegraph station atop it. Next to the right is Angel Island, then the hills of the contra costa, and finally Yerba Buena Island at the far right. Fences mark off water lots in the foreground. Some of the deserted ships are in use as warehouses, and one bears a large sign saying, "Storage." There are two steamboats in the foreground and several others are moored across the cove. Although some of the sailing vessels in the right half of the picture are deserted, a number seem to be in an active status. The painted ports on many ships were standard on nineteenth century merchantmen..."

There was a second explosion on November 24, 1900, to remove debris from the former explosion.
Preparations to blow up Arch Rock (located midway between Alcatraz Island and Lime Point) begain in September 1900, and the crown was blown off Arch Rock on November 4, 1900. The rest of Arch Rock was blown up on August 15, 1901.

Information on back of print: "Contrast between San Francisco's shoreline in gold-rush days and the present waterfront as established by seawall construction started in 1867 is shown in this State Harbor Board chart. Six-mile seawall underlies the city's Embarcadero, running from vicinity of Aquatic Park to 3rd St. Channel at China Basin."
From John Kemble's book, "San Francisco Bay: A Pictorial Maritime History," page 11, and has the following caption: "The waterfront of 1957 compared with that of 1848....The six-mile seawall underlying the Embarcadero from the vicinity of Aquatic Park at the right to the Third Street Channel at China Basin marks the San Francisco waterfront of the mid-twentieth century. All the tidal land lying behind it running back to the high water mark of 1848 has been filled with debris obtained from the hills of the city. The piers are shown jutting out into the bay from the Embarcadero with the Ferry Building in about the center. Toward the left, the largest of the piers is the Mission Rock Terminal.

A detailed description of this image can be found in "Eadweard Muybridge and the Photographic Panorama of San Francisco, 1850-1880" by David Harris, p. 85:
"This ten-part panorama was made from three separate vantage points in the block west of Powell, between Sacramento and California streets. The first six views were made from the porch of a residence located near Sacramento (this building is shown at the left-hand edge of the first of the 1855 daguerreotypes - see cat. no. 16). Weed evidently moved his camera for every second view, presumably to eliminate from the foreground of his image the upright supports of the porch...The panorama embraces a view of approximately 180 [degrees]"
This is the first recorded stereographic panorama of San Francisco... This set of stereocards first appeared in Edward Anthony and Co.'s catalogue of May 1860 as part of a series of 77 stereo-views of California, all of which can be attributed to Charles Weed...The misidentification of the location from which the panorama was made - "Panoramic View of San Francisco, Taken from the Corner of Sacramento and Taylor Streets" - appeared in both the catalogue listings and on the backs of each stereocard. Anthony (later the E. and H.T. Anthony Company) continued to issue and distribute these stereocards for some years."

Caption: Friday April 28th 1854

  • Dear Mother:
  • The above picture is a very good view of this city at the present time. The entrance to San Francisco bay, from the Pacific Ocean, is represented in the left of the picture. It is about five miles from the city to the "Golden Gate," at which place preparations are now being made for erecting a strong Fortification. From the middle of the picture, to the right, the front half of the city (nearest the bay) is all made ground, and when the buildings were erected the water flowed beneath them, they being on "Piles." Two inches directly under figure 1 is Telegraph Hill; Two-and-a-half inches under figure 2 is Mr. Meiggs's Wharf (twelve hundred feet in length); Three inches beneath figure 3 is Grace Church (Episcopal); Three-and-a-quarter inches below figure 4 is about the place where I board; Three-and-a-half inches under figure 5 is the Methodist Church; Three inches beneath figure 6 is the City Hall; Two inches and three quarters below figure 7 is the Montgomery block, one of the largest buildings in the United
  • States; Three inches underneath figure 8 is the Post Office; Two inches and three quarters beneath figure 9 is the United States Mint for California, which is now coining $150,000 per day; Two inches and five eights below figure 10 is near the locality of Le Count & Strong's Bookstore (in which I now am); Two inches and a quarter beneath figure 11 is the United States Marine Hospital, on Rincon Point; and three inches below figure 12 is the new Rassette house. The island below figure 6 is called "Yerba Buena" (Good Herb), to the right of which the upper part of "Mont Diabolo" can be seen. The bay is about seven miles wide. The distance from the foreground to the water is about one mile and a half, and the distance from Meigg's Wharf to Rincon Point is near two miles, more or less. On the other side of Telegraph Hill are some of our largest shipping warehouses. This year a new grade for the streets has been established, and in some places it is thirty feet from the front door to the pavement. There are
  • thirteen Fire engine companies in the city, and the city is well provided with Reservoirs. On the City Hall there is a large bell, which strikes the alarm in case of fire; a man is constantly on the lookout from the roof of the building. A Ferry Boat leaves the City four times per day for Oakland; which is at the present time is nearly fifty thousand, although some persons think it is more. Of the buildings now in the course of erection, nine out of ten are being built by brick. Altogether it is a great city!
  • Walton

Russia fought the French and British in 1853-56 in the Crimean War. The U.S. was the only world power that remained friendly to imperial Russia. Moreover, Americans volunteered for combat duty in Crimea to help the czar, including some 30 badly-needed surgeons. When the key Crimean fortress of Sebastopol fell, none of the invited Americans came to a banquet in San Francisco hosted by jubilant French and English, while crowds smashed the hall where festivities were held.

Two young girls have been taken up in Hart-/ford for stealing whalebone, to make fashionable/hooped skirts with. Awful depravity?

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 16 - Visual proof that Mile Rocks Light Station is San Francisco Bay is 'for the birds' is demonstrated by the superimposed photo by Coast Guard photographer Jim Velasquez. In reality, birds have become a problem. The seagulls have made Mile Rock Light Station their stopping over place. Howard Wickes, supervisory general engineer for the 12th Coast Guard District, indicated that the recently re-constructed aid was primarily designed for the landing of a Coast Guard helicopter and not seagulls. Different thought are being given in an effort to determine the best method of 'cleaning up the situation.' (30)".

A portable steam donkey engine on the wharf discharges cargo from a wooden hulled downeaster to the left. The box on wheels to the right of the donkey engine contains coal, and the barrel to the left has water for the engine's boiler. Ahead of the downeaster and also across the wharf, iron hulled British merchantmen discharge their cargoes for transport into the city by horse drawn drays. A rain storm has passed, and the vessels have shaken out their sails to dry; a sailor has tied up his shirt to dry on the forestay of the ship to the right. J. Porter Shaw Collection (Courtesy San Francisco Maritime Museum.)"

Scope and Content Note

Information attached to back of print: "Early steam schooners showed their sailing vessels origins...

  • Among the first half dozen steam schooner to be built, the WEST COAST was launched at San Francisco in 1885 for the Mendocino coast lumber trade. The WEST COAST bore a strong resemblance to her sailing prototypes in size, appearance, and rig.
  • During the late '80s and the '90s the steam schooner rigging became less concerned with carrying sail and more specifically adapted to cargo handling. About the same time the pilot house and machinery was moved right aft, the straight stem replaced the fiddle-head forward, and the characteristic round steam schooner stern replaced the long sailing ship counter as seen on the WEST COAST.
  • The influence of California upon British shipbuilding is also seen in the photograph. The iron ship BENICIA, moored astern of the WEST COAST, was launched in 1883 at the height of the California grain trade. She was owned in Liverpool, but bore the name of the Carquinez Straits port facing the grain terminals."

Text on back of mount: "First Things First: The picture you sent me for identification at hand. The picture was taken near the foot of Greenwich or Lombard St. and either Sansome or Battery St. to the right. East Street, or now the Embarcadero, is in the distance.

  • It looks to me that it must have been taken right after the earthquake and fire of April 1906 as the track with the train is laid above the street and was being used by the State Belt R.R. for debris removal or to supply the old warehouses under Telegraph Hill that survived the quake.
  • The engine is State Belt R.R. No.1, or 2 or 3 or 4 which were tank engines and used on the Belt until after 1915 or when the track was extended to the south side of the ferry building. The wheel arrangement were of the 2-4-2 arrangement. The number 4 went to Fort Bragg later but [I] do not know what became of the other earlier ones. The car attached to the engine is called a Tender and was used between the engine and the cars on the freight barges or car ferries to keep the weight of the engine off the apron. Switchmen can be seen standing on the foot board attached to the side of the tender.
  • The coal pile to the left of the train is stored awaiting to be lifted up to the loading shoots to the left of the engine. The flat car is probably being switched to one of the warehouses or to pick up debris.
  • The two-horse wagon is [a] dump truck and is coming out of Sansome or Battery St." -from Roy Groves Nov. 8, 1957.

Scope and Content Note

The Lurline Pier (1894-1967) was located on Ocean Beach between Balboa and Anza streets. It was sometimes called the "Olympic Club Pier" because an intake pipe for pumping saltwater to the old Lurline Baths and Olympic Club pools downtown, hence the two names. The pier lasted until the 1960s and formed the southern boundary of the stretch of beach that surfers still call "Kelly's Cove". Lurline Pier protected the intake pipe for the downtown Lurline Baths (Larkin and Bush streets, 1894-1936) (Source: http://www.cliffhouseproject.com/environs/lurine/lurine_pier.htm)

Extent: 1 negative.
Physical Description: Black-and-white negative, safety film., n (7 x 5 in.):

Scope and Content Note

Two views of two of the bas-relief sculptures by Arthur Putnam at the Hippodrome. During this period the Midway, on the south side of Pacific Street near Montgomery Street, was one of the shabbiest dives on the Barbary Coast, but early in 1913 it came under the management of George Kelley, better known as Red Kelley, and for several years thereafter it was one of the most pretentious resorts in the district. It was also a favorite haunt of the sightseers, for Kelley was an accomplished showman and could always be depended upon to provide entertainment calculated to thrill and to shock the outlander. For a considerable period the bright particular star of his variety programs was a fat Salome dancer appropriately called Gyp. She performed the sensual twistings and writhings of a muscle dance in a very lascivious manner, but the effect of her contortions was less exhilarating than it might have been because from start to finish of the dance her face was wreathed in a sweet, infantile smile. In later years the name of the Midway was changed to Hippodrome, and finally it was called the U. S. Café, while another Hippodrome was opened directly across the street by Frank Scivio. It was during the Midway's days as the Hippodrome that new decorations, by far the finest and most celebrated ever seen on the Barbary Coast, were installed in its entrance lobby—six bas-relief panels in plaster, depicting a group of satyrs happily and purposefully pursuing as many nymphs, with anatomical details all complete. These details, however, aroused such a storm of shocked comment that they were eventually removed, and the areas in dispute were covered by bands of ribbon, done in reddish plaster, which trailed upward over the shoulders of both nymphs and satyrs. The figures were the work of Arthur Putnam, who later became one of America's most noted sculptors. According to one story, his only compensation was a few drinks, but according to another—and probably the correct one—he was paid $175 for the job.
