Old Ship Saloon, San Francisco
View Original Description
The Old Ship Saloon is a landmark saloon, converted from a 19th-century sailing ship.
In 1849, at the height of the Gold Rush, stormy seas drove the ship Arkansas aground on Alcatraz Island, and the wreckage was towed to shore along the city’s notorious Barbary Coast. In 1851, the ship started its second life as a bar.
