Square-Rigged Sailing Ship Balclutha
The Square-Rigged Sailing Ship Balclutha, located at Hyde Street Pier in San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park, was built in Glasgow, Scotland in 1886. As the last square-rigged vessel afloat on San Francisco Bay and one of only two American-owned square riggers on the Pacific Coast, Balclutha has a rich history in maritime trade and commerce, including roles in the grain trade between California and England, the Pacific Coast lumber trade, and the Alaskan salmon trade. Throughout her career, Balclutha sailed to ports around the world, maintaining her original structure with only a few alterations. Designated as a National Historic Landmark, Balclutha stands as a testament to the bygone era of sailing ships and continues to captivate visitors with her storied past and well-preserved authenticity.Generated from the website
