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

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.
