Gold Rush context
A financial district built over the Gold Rush waterfront
The 1848 Gold Rush rapidly transformed San Francisco from a small port into a boom city. Parts of today’s Financial District were built over the former waterfront, where ships such as the Niantic were abandoned, buried by development and later rediscovered. The dream is fictional; the buried maritime landscape and boomtown history are documented. Playable languages: English.
