Hop on a Powell Street cable car in San Francisco and, with bells clanging, you will be carried up one of the steepest hills of the city. From the top you can look across San Francisco Bay to the golden Gate Bridge silhouetted like a great orang web against the sky.
Just where you see the fishing boats returning with their day's catch, the Spanish schooner San Carlos made its way in 1775. That was the first ship to cast anchor in San Francisco Bay. But from then on, a succession of vessels sailed into that famous port as part of one of the most colorful and exciting pageants in all history. |
