Tides of Change: Fisherman's Wharf 1870-1930 Not until after 1884, the year the fleet was moved to the new state-owned wharves at the foot of Union and Greenwich streets, are the familiar views of fishermen gathered together on their boats mending nets and drying sails captured on film. Tucked into the northwest corner of the wharf was a small boat slip, or ramp, which, combined with the davits lining the outboard face of the wharf, allowed the fishermen to haul out their boats for painting and repairs. The new Fisherman's Wharf was located at the westernmost extension of the seawall, at the intersection of Jefferson and Taylor streets. www.nps.gov /safr/local/wharf.html   (1946 words)

Tour For San Francisco Virgins The cocktail was not invented here, but it was the late San Francisco Chronicle columnist Stanton Delaplane who brought the recipe back from Dublin in 1952, and a Buena Vista bartender who re-created it for the first time stateside.
