The San Francisco Maritime Museum or Aquatic Park Bathhouse as it is also referred to, is from a project that stated in 1931 to improve the 34.5 area of Black Point Cove and keep industry out of it. Unfortunately, both the city and state ran out of money to continue the project, in 1933. So, an official of the city went to Washington, D.C., to see about getting some help.nThis was the start of The Great Depression. It was also the start of President Roosevelts New Deal Project and the Work Projects Administration. nNot only was the money to fund the project sent, in early 1936 a fully qualified group of 782 WPA workers were sent. nThe building itself was designed by city architect father and son William Mooser Jr and Mooser 3rd. It is in the Art Deco Streamlined Modern Style, and is made to look like an ocean liner.nIt was originally intended to be used as a bathhouse, but as the waters of San Francisco Bay are just too cold all year round, it became the home of the Maritime Museum instead.nThe plaque with this Folding Stock Anchor states that it was from between 1890 to 1900, used on American Square rigged ships.nAs seen 26 October 2022.
