 Port City is the first book to tell the comprehensive and largely unknown story of the city's waterfront. For most of its history, the Port played a major role in the daily lives of many San Franciscans. In addition to the sailors, longshoremen, and others who worked along the waterfront, workers in factories, warehouses, and offices were employed in jobs that directly depended on and had regular contact with the port. Port City looks at the geography of these connections to illuminate the role of the port in the city's life. It chronicles the heyday of the port as a flourishing nexus of shipping and commerce and puts this story in today's context. Port City is richly illustrated with historical images, drawings, maps, and specially-commissioned color photographs.
