The heart of San Francisco is the bay, with its wharves and myriad fishing boats, its bustle of activity in the morning and again in the evening, when the fleet returns laden with fish.
That's true today and it was ever so much more true in 1909, when the sea provided a bountiful harvest. There's the promise of adventure in the very smell of the briny air, at the turn of the century the bay was alive with seafaring men of every description - colorful characters who spoke exotic languages and told marvelous tales.
The voyages that began and ended at the old ferry building were of a somewhat more modest character and yet not without their own romance. Ferries plied the bay, connecting San Francisco with the many quaint villages along the shore. In San Francisco, Market Street and the Ferry Building, at Dusk, 1909, we visit a time when auto travel was less than convenient, and the ferries that came and went from the old building at the foot of Market Street provided the most practical transport to the bustling bay-area towns.
Practical, and yet, so romantic. With its cable cars and ferries, San Francisco has always been a city where travel is a charming adventure.
