Please support The Maritime Heritage Project.

The Maritime Heritage Project is committed to providing free information to absolutely everyone everywhere; the focus is world shipping during the 1800s, with a concentration on San Francisco Bay during the Gold Rush years.

The information on the site is an accumulation of 11-years of research on ships, captains, passengers, ports and goods moving around the world during one of the largest international migrations in history.

Our lists of passengers arriving in San Francisco seem to be more comprehensive than those of many paid-for services. Thousands of individuals from around the world have found links to family in these pages. Educators and historians frequently comment on the value of the information.

To date, with the exception of a few wonderful donors of funds and information, we have covered all expenses.

Now we are formally asking for your donations in helping to cover our modest budget and to expand the site to include additional detail on world ports. We wish to shed additional light on the migratory paths during the 1800s.

Reading through these pages brings to life that America was created by everyone and belongs to everyone; early settlers came over land bridges in the Bering Straits from Russia and Japan, up and down coastlines, across the Continent on foot and with horses, by early sailors from France, England, Russia, Spain, and, perhaps, by Polynesian people. Kent Madin of Boojum Institute kayaked solo from San Diego to Hawaii in the 1980s, so it is completely feasible.

Please help support our work.

Thank you.
