Seaports
San Francisco 1800s
The Maritime Heritage Project focuses on history of immigration, ships, captains, merchants and merchandise sailing into and out of world seaports during the mid-to-late 1800s.
Passenger lists on the site are into and out of San Francisco specifically as that is our home base.
