GOGA-00789
The copy negatives were created by San Francisco Maritime Museum staff from photographs in the Museum's collection. Charles
Richards found the copy negatives in a drawer in the recreation room of the St. Francis Square apartment complex in San Francisco,
California, and returned them to the Museum.
SAFR-00001 is a blanket accession that was transferred from the Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA) to the San Francisco
Maritime National Historical Park in September 1988. GGNRA had previously acquired the collection from the San Francisco Maritime
Museum when it became a unit of the National Park Service in 1977.
GOGA-00789 was transferred from the J. Porter Shaw Library to the Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA) in February
1985.
