The contractor hired to blow up the three rocks was Rudolph Axman of Los Angeles (sometimes referred to as Rudolph Axemann and Robert Axman).
Shag Rock No. 1 (also known as Barrel Rock) was blown up on April 30, 1900. He next blew up Shag Rock No. 2 (also known as Little Shag Rock) which was completely submerged under water, on September 5, 1900. 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.

Artist's conception. From "Harper's Weekly," December 24, 1864. Copy of a clipping attached to the print: "Fleet of Whalers at San Francisco. We give herewith an illustration representing the Fleet of Whalers in the port of San Francisco. Our correspondent, in a letter dated October 29, says that during a few previous days no less than twenty-four whalers had arrived from the Arctic ocean. The presence of so many whalers in the port at one time had never before been known; perhaps the highest number previously reached. For several years past the whaling fleet has rather avoided San Francisco, and which is chiefly indebted for its recent presence to the facility afforded by this port for instant telegraphic communication with owners at New Bedford, whose wished as to the disposition of cargoes can thus be immediately ascertained. The number of whales is said to be diminishing yearly, and eminent scientific authorities have advocated a cessation of the fishery for a period of years."

For more information, see Info. File. This image is reproduced in John Kemble's book, "San Francisco Bay: A Pictorial Maritime History," pg. 39 with the following caption: "Oakland Long Wharf served deep-water and coastwise vessels until 1918....After 1882, Oakland Long Wharf was used for freight traffic only while passengers came and went at the new Oakland Pier terminal at the end of Oakland Mole. Long Wharf was extended over the mud flats nearly to Goat Island (Yerba Buena Island) to permit the berthing of deep draft vessels. In this photograph, taken in about 1905, an English four-poster, light, and with the "Red Duster" flying from her gaff, prepares to take aboard cargo. Astern of her lies another steel sailing ship loading for the Cape Horn route. To the left of this pair is a four-masted schooner with a steam schooner hiding behind her. Farther to the left lie MELVILLE DOLLAR and one of the coastwise passenger and freight steamers of the Alaska Pacific Steamship Co. In the background is Yerba Buena Island."

Physical Description: Black-and-white silver-gelatin photographic print., pl (6-3/4 x 10 in.)

Scope and Content Note

View apparently taken because of the snow on the mountains. In the middle background is the McNear warehouse. The shack in the right foreground is Jack Murray's. Copies of 2 clippings on the back of the large print. One reads: "The late Hiram Hopkins rightfully considered the above picture one of the most remarkable old-time local photographs in existence. It was taken, perhaps because of snow on Sonoma Mountains, from the alley off the downtown end of Western Avenue and shows the famous McNear Warehouse before Golden Eagle built on the site. Objects piled on the opposite river bank are bricks or basalt blocks, not potatoes as one account recorded. Mr. Hopkins said the tank was used to fill a water wagon for street sprinkling. He thought the two-story building to the left of the warehouse belonged to Camm & Hedges but this may be doubtful - the C&H lumber concern started in 1884 and the photo has a feeling of being older. A gentleman named Jack Murry, who must have been a marvel to the medical

  • profession, lived in the foreground shack. One story concerned the time he was stabbed in the back, walked to his little house and doctored himself back to health. Another yarn told how Murray caught measles, thought at the time to be smallpox. Officials packed him on a wagon trip to the 'pest house.' Bumped off, the rugged East Petaluman ran after the vehicle and climbed back on. (All old pictures from Golden Eagle Collection.)."
  • The second clipping discusses the ground breaking on the McNear Warehouse in 1864.
  • Gift - Ed Mannion.

The Delta King and Queen were styled after the River Palaces, a tern indigenous only to riverboats on the Sacramento River, and referred to by Mother Lode miners who were bedazzled by such extravagance, at a cost of $875,000 each. After a succession of owners she returned home to the Stockton Deepwater Channel, at the foot of Pershing, on April 1959, where, abandoned, she fell prey to nine grey flannel suit executives, both young and spirited, under the name of Riverboat's Comin'!, Inc., and the backwards tow of a small 50-foot tug, who "pirated" her to Sacramento on the night of July 19, 1969.
