A group of antique ships, moored west of Fisherman's Wharf, illustrating part of the city's maritime history.
There's a paddlewheel steam tugboat, an early ferry, and other ships. They look like they're kept in fairly good nick.

Woah ho ho! You made my day. Great shot of the Eureka, The Balclutha, the C.A. Thayer, the steel tug Hercules, and my fave, the Eppleton Hall paddle tug. She's on my list as I'm curious about the boat's twin steam engine set up, and it's "Transmission" which was first described to me by an Australian friend in Perth.
The Balclutha is, I think, a sister ship to the Moshulu in Philly...

Or, at the very least, a close relative. Both are amongst the last steel-hulled square-riggers built.
