First Wednesday: Ships, Shoals, and Saints with Pat Broderick In-Person
Sailors on San Francisco Bay rely on nautical charts much like motorists once depended on road maps before GPS. Every island, bluff, headland, strait, and buoy has a name; some in Spanish, some in English. But how were those names chosen? What histories do they reflect? In this illustrated talk, sailor and historian Pat Broderick explores the origins of the Bay’s place names, uncovering the stories behind the landmarks we sail past, or stroll by on shore. Whether you're a seasoned sailor or a curious visitor, you'll gain a deeper appreciation for the rich history woven into the names around the Bay.
