The Large Vessel At The Wharf is The "Apollo Store Ship."
Shows all streets, Agnew's Steamboat Landing, Central Wharf, and the Apollo Store Ship. Scale given in Mexican Varas. With an inset view of the city in 1849. Elevations of the hills and coastal cliffs are show with hachures. Harry J. Peters says of the Apollo Store Ship: It "was sent around the Horn from New York in 1849 to San Francisco. There it was beached & converted to a store & warehouse. This was often the fate of many ships in those days when whole crews would often desert ship & rush to the gold fields. It was also profitable to the owners to beach a vessel & turn it to just such uses as the Apollo, for San Francisco was largely a city of tents with few buildings either for homes or storage for the thousands of newcomers."
