Alma, Historic schooner at San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park, United States.
The Alma is a historic sailing vessel on display at San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park where visitors can board and explore it. This schooner has a flat-bottomed design that made it suitable for navigating shallow bay waters.
This schooner was built in 1891 and originally worked carrying cargo around San Francisco Bay like hundreds of similar vessels. It has survived while most others from that era have disappeared or been destroyed.
The vessel represents a type of ship that was common in San Francisco Bay for moving goods and materials. Walking around it shows how local people once used these boats for daily work and trade.
The vessel is moored at Hyde Street Pier in downtown San Francisco and is accessible by public transit. Visitors can walk on board to see the ship up close and learn about its construction and operation.
This is the last of its type still able to sail and participate in boat races in the entire United States. This working capability sets it apart from other preserved ships that are only viewed from a distance.
