After a 178 day voyage from New York via Cape Horn in 1849 the sailing ship "Arkansas" arrived in San Francisco Bay. Among her 112 passengers were 76 Methodists, all bound for the gold fields or church propagation. The ship was nearly lost while anchoring off Bird Island, now Alcatraz, then was towed and purposely grounded in Yerba Buena Cove. Here an entrepreneur cut a hole in her bow creating an instant saloon. The ship's colorful past has included a seaman's bar, boarding house, bordello, and a "Shanghai Shop", yet the old ship has never lost its main attraction, that of a first rate saloon.
