"ALMA"
the City by the Golden Gate
до
Built by Fred Siemer at Hunter's Point in 1891.
Schooners of this type averaged 60 to 70 feet in
length and between 20 and 25 feet in width. Their
heavy, flat-bottomed design allowed for inexpensive
construction and thus, ALMA is the last survivor of
over 300 of her kind. Hay was the major cargo carried
on board. Purchased in 1960 by the State of Cali-
fornia, she has joined her historic sisters the only
surviving, restored scow schooner afloat. The San
Francisco Maritime State Historic Park is located
at the foot of Hyde Street; please telephone 885-
1216 for information and group reservations.
