The Maritime Heritage Project

The Maritime Heritage Project is going into its 12th Year! The Project was started to preserve the history of San Francisco Bay during the 1800s and is dedicated to Captain James H. Blethen, great great grandfather of the Project’s founder. It has been expanding to include world ports during the 1800s.

Thanks for stopping by. Please take time to browse through The Maritime Heritage Project site, leave us a note, ask a question, or say hello to the thousands of people from around the world who visit the site.
