From the publisher: "San Francisco Bay: A Pictorial Maritime History is a comprehensive book that explores the history of San Francisco Bay through stunning photographs and insightful text. Written by John Haskell Kemble, a renowned maritime historian, this book provides a detailed look at the evolution of the Bay from the early days of exploration to the present day. The book is divided into chapters that cover different periods of history, starting with the early explorers who first discovered the Bay. It then moves on to the era of the Gold Rush, when San Francisco became a bustling port city and the gateway to the West. The book also covers the development of the Bay as a major shipping hub and the role it played in World War II. Throughout the book, Kemble includes a wealth of historical photographs that bring the Bay's rich history to life. These images showcase the many ships, boats, and other vessels that have sailed the Bay over the years, as well as the people who have lived and worked along its shores. In addition to the photographs, the book also includes detailed maps and diagrams that help readers understand the geography of the Bay and how it has changed over time. Kemble's engaging writing style makes the book a pleasure to read, and his extensive research ensures that it is both accurate and informative. Overall, San Francisco Bay: A Pictorial Maritime History is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of San Francisco and the Bay Area. It is a beautiful and informative book that will appeal to history buffs, maritime enthusiasts, and anyone who loves the Bay.
