Golden Gate Castaways: East Meets West In Gold Rush San Francisco
This is the story of 17 Japanese sailors, stranded at sea, rescued by an American ship, and taken to San Francisco in 1851. Regarded as the first Japanese people ever to reach these shores, they had many adventures on the Barbary Coast. Their story is illustrated with wood block prints (some from the Asian Art Museum) and historic photographs and drawings. Join Bob Oaks, docent and author, for this insightful presentation.
