For some time, the San Francisco Maritime Museum housed various odds and ends in a warehouse at the former Alameda Naval Air Station. A few weeks ago they apparently relocated to a warehouse in San Leandro. So for a few hours, various of their treasures, mostly unrestored wrecks or parts of wrecks were staged on flat bed trucks outside the Alameda warehouse that I fortuitously happened to pass on the day of the move which allowed me to take some pictures which I now am able to share.
A wooden boat and to the left of it, who knows what, maybe a boiler off a steam ship. |
parts of grown crooks off something picked off a mud flat somewhere in SF Bay. |
An iron hulled boat to the back in red and black and something smaller in white and blue and wood. |
some more detail on the wooden boat. |
And the stern of the iron boat. Very graceful. |
And the iron boat close up. Looks like rust never sleeps. |
A chunk of cross section of a wooden ship. A wooden frame and six inch thick planking. Looks kind of like a rack of ribs. |
I have no idea what this is. But it looks like metal. |
And more of the same. Could be the obelisk from 2001 Space Odyssey. |
Some of the planking fell off revealing the steam bent frames. |
I have no idea what it is. but it no doubt housed gentlemen at sea at one time. |
