Join Stacey Carter for a fascinating 1-hour guided history tour of Hunters Point Shipyard in San Francisco. Discover the significant role this site played in the US Navy’s defense and wartime efforts, and the role it played in the story of African American migration to San Francisco in the middle of the 20th century. From its beginnings as the largest dry-dock repair facility on the West Coast, the site has seen a lot – from supporting the Navy in two World Wars, to being a hub for nuclear radiation research. Today, it stands as a thriving artist studio complex. Join us to discover its transformation and the stories it holds.
Through buildings visible at the Shipyard overlook, Carter will take you on a chronological journey, highlighting its military development from 1867 to the Cold War and its present-day significance.
