    Historic Context Statement City of Benicia February 2011 Benicia, CA Prepared for City of Benicia Department of Public Works & Community Development Prepared by page & turnbull, inc. 1000 Sansome Street, Ste. 200, San Francisco CA 94111 415.362.5154 / www.page-turnbull.com Benicia Historic Context Statement FOREWORD “Benicia is a very pretty place; the situation is well chosen, the land gradually sloping back from the water, with ample space for the spread of the town. The anchorage is excellent, vessels of the largest size being able to tie so near shore as to land goods without lightering. The back country, including the Napa and Sonoma Valleys, is one of the finest agriculture districts in California. Notwithstanding these advantages, Benicia must always remain inferior in commercial advantages, both to San Francisco and Sacramento City.”1 So wrote Bayard Taylor in 1850, less than three years after Benicia’s founding, and another three years before the city would—at least briefly—serve as the capital of California. In the century that followed, Taylor’s assessment was echoed by many authors—that although Benicia had all the ingredients for a great metropolis, it was destined to remain in the shadow of others. Yet these assessments only tell a half truth. While Benicia never became the great commercial center envisioned by its founders, its role in Northern California history is nevertheless one that far outstrips the scale of its geography or the number of its citizens. Benicia gave rise to the first large industrial works in California, hosted the largest train ferries ever constructed, and housed the West Coast’s primary ordnance facility for over 100 years.

A year after its launch in 1888, it survived the Pacific tropical cyclone that destroyed American and German warships and numerous merchantmen at Apia, Samoa. Shortly afterward, Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson chartered the schooner for the second of his three cruises among the islands of the South Pacific. As steamers took over island trade in the 1890s, the Equator was sold and converted to a steam tender for the Alaska salmon canneries. In 1915, it became a tugboat operating out of Seattle and was chartered briefly by the federal 1 Twenty-Seventh Annual List of Merchant Vessels of the United States .

  • The Story of Christchurch, New Zealand
    THE STORY OF CHRISTCHURCH, N.Z. JOHN ROBERT GODLEY, The Founder of Canterbury. THE STORY OF CHRISTCHURCH NEW ZEALAND. BY HENRY F. WIGRAM. CHRISTCHURCH: PRINTED AND PUBLISHED BY THE LYTTELTON TIMES Co., LTH I91B. 430 PREFACE. The story of the foundation and early growth of Canterbury was first told to me, bit by bit, more than thirty years ago, some of it by men and women who had actually taken part in the founding of the settlement, and shaping its destiny, and some by late-comers, who had followed closely on the heels of the pioneers. There were many people then living who delighted in talking of their strenuous life in the pioneering days, " when all the world was young," and in telling of events which are now passing into silent history. Many of the stories I heard then are still vivid in my memory, little episodes illustrating the daily life of a community which had to do everything for itself survey, settle, stock and till the land, build its own roads, bridges and railways, form its own religious, educa- tional, political and social institutions, and construct its own local government. It is no wonder that coming from the valley of the Thames, where the results of centuries of civilisation had come to be accepted as the natural condition of nineteenth century existence, I found the contrast interesting and inspiring. My wife and I were received with the kindly hospi- tality so typical of the time and country. Amongst our immediate neighbours at Upper Riccarton were many old settlers. Mr.

  • Return of the Galilee and Construction of a Special Vessel
    RETURN OF THE "GALILEE" AND CONSTRUCTION OF A SPECIAL VESSEL. ]By L. A. BAu•z•t, fPD eclo•'. The yacht "Galilee" chartered by the Department Terrestrial 5Iag- netism of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, for the purpose of a general or preliminary magnetic survey of tl•e Pacific Ocean, returned to her home port, San Francisco, California, on May 22, after an absenteeof nearly tt•ree years, during which she has cruised in the Pacific Ocean to the extent of about 65,ooo nautical miles. After completing at San Francisco various swings and observations, she left on August 4, •9o5, for a trial cruise to San Diego, California, under the writer's direction for the purpose of completing the necessary training of the observers and perfecting the ninthotis of observation. The vessel next proceededto Honolulu and Fanning Island, returning to San Diego, California, in December, x9o5. Captain J. F. Pratt of the United States Coast and Geodetic Surx'ey con•manded the vessel in •9o5. Upon the expiration of his furlough, 5rr. •V. J. Peters, chief mag•etic observer of the Department Terrestrial Magnetism, assumed command and carried out the balance of the cruises up to the return to San Francisco in a most satisfactory - manner. During the period m9o6-8,tim vessel visited the following ports: Fanning Island, Apia, (•9o6 and •9o7), Suva, Ja!iut (liarshall Ids., •9o6 and •9o7), Guam, \'okohama, San Diego, Nukahiva (Marquesas Ids.), Tahiti, Yap (Caroline Ids., •9o7), Shanghai, Sitka, Honolulu (•9o7), Lyttleton (New Zealand), Callao (Peru), and San Frm•cisco. It is thus seen that she has cruised over the greater part of the Pacific Ocean and especially in those reg'ions where magnetic data (at least of all three magnetic elements) were very scarce.

Washington, D.C. 20506 2002 www.neh.gov 22 The President The White House Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Mr. President: It is my privilege to present to you the 2002 annual report of the National Endowment for the Humanities. I am very proud of NEH’s achievements in 2002, the first full year of my Chairmanship. This year was marked by reinvigorated core programs, strengthened cooperation with state humanities councils, memorable special events and national honors, and most exciting of all a Presidential unveiling for a bold NEH initiative. In the Rose Garden on September 17 — Constitution Day — you announced the launch of NEH’s We the People. As you pointed out on that auspicious occasion, too many Americans, especially our young people, lack a solid grounding in the intellectual, cultural, and historical foundations of our nation. Now, thanks to your leadership and support, the NEH is helping to restore America’s national memory and equip citizens with the knowledge to safeguard our legacy of freedom. We the People is a far-reaching, agency-wide initiative. The study and dissemination of knowledge of American history and culture will be cultivated in every NEH division and program. The common standard will be excellence. Our renewed focus on the lessons of American history and the riches of our culture is an extension of the core mission of the Humanities Endowment. Since 1965, the NEH has served and strengthened our Republic by promoting excellence in the humanities and conveying the lessons of history to all Americans.

  • Brigantine, Schooner, Houseboat: Journeys of the Galilee
    BRIGANTINE, SCHOONER, HOUSEBOAT: JOURNEYS OF THE GALILEE Richard A. Stradford Corps of Engineers, San Francisco District ......-c- . ~~ . - . - ----.-:.­ ABSTRACT The GALILEE, moored in the mudflats off Sausalito, has been the subject of archival and field study as a result of regulatory review by the Army Corps of Engineers. Built by Matthew Turner in 1891, the brigantine GALILEE first sailed the trade routes of the South Seas, was later chartered to make a magn!=ltjc su rvey of the Pacific Ocean and finished her career as a rerigged schooner used in the cod fishing trade of Alaska. In 1933, the GALILEE was laid up on the Sausalito shoreline and for many years provided shelter for local artists. Natural elements and unmitigated impacts have led to the vessel's deterioration; however, her intact hull can still be observed buried in the mud. This paper describes the unique aspects of the GALILEE's design and construction and her interesting past, as well as a National R eg ist~ r evaluation of the archaeological remains. The subject of my talk today is the 19th earliest voyages, Turner was able to test her century wooden brigantine, GALILEE. I am gOing qualifications firsthand. Turner'S design was to present a chronological sketch - a historical innovative and helped gain him the reputation of a vignette if you will - of the GALILEE's history in master craftsman. He made his models long and the context of (1) San Francisco in the mid-to-Iate sharp forward and full aft, which was in contrast to 1800s, (2) her Pacific and Bering Sea voyages the East coast models of having the broadest through the 1920s and (3) a reconstruction of the beam at two-fifths the length from the bow.
