The Maritime Heritage Project ~~ International Harbors Travel

This site started with my daughter's family tree homework project in 1998. The Project has taken us around the world in search of family. Our generational tree is now 5'x4' and goes back to the 1700s in Maine, and prior to that to Ireland, Wales and Germany. A family tree is a marvelous way to keep your family connected; just click on the image below to start yours.

Arrived on the SS Oregon, September 6, 1852

Beale Street in San Francisco was named for Lieutenant Edward F. Beale, United States Navy.

Beale took an active part in the conquest of California serving as Lieutenant with the California battalion; later he was a surveyor-general of the state and at one time United States minister to Austria.

(The Beginnings of San Francisco, Vol. II, Zoeth Eldridge, 1912; pg. 740). Also notes that Lt. Beale was with Kit Carson at San Diego behind the enemy lines in December, 1846.

Beale was also prominent at the time of the "conquest," having been appointed Indian Agent.
