Abstract:
J. E. Clark worked his way to the California gold rush as an employee of the company building the railroad across the Isthmus of Panama. He describes the company’s recruitment process, the poor food furnished to the construction workers, and the horrific death toll. He was one of those fortunate to reach the Pacific and take ship to San Francisco.

Abstract The Manila galleon San Francisco sank off the coast of Japan in 1609 after almost two months of sailing through storms and hurricanes that damaged the ship to the point that it was carrying more than two metres of water in its hold. This article provides an account of the final journey of San Francisco according to primary and secondary sources. It also proposes a set of theoretical dimensions for the galleon based on its tonnage, contemporary vessels of similar tonnages, hull ratios provided in late sixteenth- and early seventeenth-century shipbuilding treatises and ordinances, and a

The cyclopoid copepod Limnoithona tetraspina was collected for the first time in the Shatt Al-Arab, a river in Iraq, in the summer of 2009; its abundance ranged from 2-16 specimens/m3. Its distribution was restricted to the areas around Al-Sindibad Island and Al-Kornish in waters with temperatures between 27-28°C and salinities less than 4.1‰. A larger number of specimens was collected in August 2012 around Al-Sindibad Island, 134 specimens/m3, and in July 2013 around Al-Kornish, 378 specimens/m3 in waters of comparable temperatures and salinities.

When the steamship landed in San Francisco, about a thousand Chinese went aboard, including a secretary from the Ning Yeung huiguan or Ning Yeung Company who wanted to see if there were any countrymen from his district of China. Ning Yeung huiguan was just one of the huiguan in San Francisco. The secretary found Win Kang and took him to the company

Columbus concluded that Earth is round while watching a distant ship sink beneath the horizon. You too can observe the curvature of Earth on the San Francisco Bay (and other places); not only that: you can determine Earth’s radius from such observations. I present here a method to use the vertical shift between two bridges over the Bay due to Earth’s curvature as seen in a photograph, where the more distant bridge is apparently lower than the proximate one (as shown in Fig. 1). Starting with each bridge’s known dimensions and location and applying atmospheric refraction corrections and then me

The assumptions made and methods used to prepare the selection matrix for escort tugs that is incorporated into the California statute for the ports of San Francisco and Los Angeles/Long Beach are presented. The default matrix for both ports is based on a demand/capability analysis. The demand is a function of (a) port geometry; (b) operational practices, including transit speeds, tethering, failure modes, and failure recognition times; (c) emergency maneuver (stopping and/or turning of the disabled vessel); and (d) ship size. The capability is defined as the total bollard pull of the escortin

A few miles to the north, the Embarcadero and its ripsaw ridge of angled piers, once the pulsing heart of the city’s commercial port, is today a palm-tree-lined recreational waterfront of restaurants, bars, condos

To be sure, these strips of coastline came with huge continental territories attached. With the purchase of New Orleans from France, the United States got the Mississippi River Valley as a bonus.
