Balclutha, Full-rigged ship at Hyde Street Pier, San Francisco, US
The Balclutha, measuring 91.5 meters in length, contains three masts with steel hulls and multiple decks for different maritime operations and cargo storage.
Built in 1886 near Glasgow, Scotland, this vessel transported grain between California and England before joining the Alaskan salmon trade from 1903 to 1930.
The ship accommodated separate living quarters for Italian, Scandinavian, and Chinese workers during its time in the Alaskan salmon industry.
The San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park maintains the vessel and allows visitors to explore multiple decks, including crew quarters and cargo holds.
The vessel completed seventeen journeys around Cape Horn in thirteen years while carrying various goods including wine, coal, wool, and timber.
