Rambling observations on books, history, movies, transit, obsolete technology, baseball, and anything else that crosses my mind.

Most of the American whaling fleet wintered in San Francisco Bay, especially in freshwater Richardson Bay, where marine borers could not attack the hulls, which were often not sheated with copper.
