Alma Scow Schooner
Hyde Street Pier
Aquatic Park
Built 1891
Alma is an excellent example of a once-common, vernacular work-a-day craft
found on the major waterways of the United States from Colonial times through
the 20th century. While built and operated on the San Francisco Bay, Alma is
in many ways indistinguishable from scows which were launched and sailed on
the Chesapeake Bay, the Gulf Coast, the Great Lakes, inland rivers, and other
coastal waters of the United States. No scow schooner save Alma is known to
survive afloat in the United States....
