Stories

Telling stories has been a traditional way to pass down history. By telling stories of individual people, places, and things, we find personal connections to the broader trends of history. Maritime history is full of tall tales told by sailors, and these stories are as much a part of our maritime legacy as the historic ships they sailed on.

Maritime stories give us insight into the history of the city of San Francisco. The stories of San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park show the global connections that unite us all.
