Using Google Earth to view the Balclutha, an 1886 square-rigged sailing ship, provides a vivid glimpse of one of San Francisco’s most iconic maritime landmarks.
Docked at the Hyde Street Pier within the San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park, this preserved vessel stands as a striking reminder of the age of sail.
Built in 1886 in Scotland, the Balclutha was designed for global trade routes, carrying goods like salmon, lumber, and grain between Europe, the Pacific Northwest, and even New Zealand.
Her full-rigged masts and steel hull made her a robust and versatile cargo ship during the final decades of commercial sail.
Today, Balclutha is part of a historic fleet at the San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park, surrounded by historic ferries, tugboats, and piers.
Visitors can walk her decks and experience what life was like aboard a 19th-century ocean-crossing merchant ship.
At Weekly Report Films, we use Google Earth to explore historic ships, landmarks, and harbors from a satellite perspective.
