 YACHTING ON THE BAY, C. 1899

16 x 19”

Acrylic Paint on Nautical Chart of SF Bay

Received the chart via text from our neighbor. The chart is from 1899, when the bay had no bridges and a lot more water. The reference image, of the gaff-rigged sloops racing, is from an engraving in St. Francis YC Scrapbook 1880-82, p. 110.

Then and now, a day racing on San Francisco Bay can look like this!
