Subject: SF Maritime Library tour (deadline extended)


>Tour of the San Francisco Maritime Library
>
>Do you love the sea and ships? Are you interested in San
>Francisco's history? Do you like free parking? Come see photographs
>of San Francisco as it was when tall sailing ships brought
>passengers and cargo to the city's waterfront. Come to the BayNet
>tour of the San Francisco Maritime Library.
>
>Part of the San Francisco Maritime National Historic Park and
>managed by the National Park Service, the J. Porter Shaw library has
>one of the largest collections of historical photographs of San
>Francisco anywhere in the world. Members of the Library, The
>Artifacts Department and the Historical Documents Center will show
>and discuss samples of the distinctive materials that make this
>library a great resource of San Francisco and maritime history.
>
>BayNet will make sure to have plenty of food on hand: drinks, hearty
>appetizers, sandwiches and desserts.
>
>Many people do not realize that the Maritime Library is not in the
>same building as Maritime Museum at Aquatic Park. The SF Maritime
>National Historic Park includes ships (from the Balclutha to the
>Pompanito, and more!) and has departments in several other
>buildings, including the Maritime Library. The library is in
>building E on the opposite side of Fort Mason from Aquatic Park. I
>have found that Fort Mason has an excellent web site with directions
>and a map. See http://www.fortmason.org/directions/ LOTS of FREE
>PARKING Available!
>
>Also accessable via the #30 Muni Bus route (get off at Laguna and
>Chestnut then walk North) or the 42 Filmore (Ride to the end of the
>line at Marina Blvd then Walk East toward the Safeway).
>
>The driving directions: From within San Francisco, (from the south)
>go to Marina Blvd via Franklin (or Van Ness) to Bay (Left) to Laguna
>(right) or from the Golden Gate Bridge via Lombard to Filmore (Left)
>and right on to Marina. Proceed on Laguna (or Marina Blvd) to the
>Marina Safeway. Fort Mason Center is directly across the street.
>Building E is toward the water on the far Eastern side of the
>quadrangle.
>
>Below you will find another copy of the original announcement for
>this tour. We plan to have lots of food as well as Richard Geiger
>at the bar, so you should be able to have a nice meal in beautiful
>surroundings. If we have more than 10 sign up the presenters will
>take us in smaller groups in rotation through the different
>departments. Judy Hintzman will give a tour of the artifacts
>department and other staff will do presentations on the photographs
>collection and historical documents collection.
