  • McCarthy Album 06, Photograph 074

    Caption: "The California," c. 1906. This photograph shows the second U.S. Navy ship to bear the Golden State's name. Launched in 1904 and commissioned in 1907, this Pennsylvania-class armored cruiser served in the Pacific fleet. Her name was changed in 1914 to the USS San Diego, in order to free up the name for a new, Tennessee-class battleship. The USS San Diego went on to serve in both the Pacific and Atlantic fleets during World War I, until being sunk off the coast of New York by a German mine in 1918, with a loss of six lives.

  • McCarthy Album 11, Photograph 001

    Caption: "City Hall, San Francisco, May 14, 1934." View of San Francisco's Beaux-Arts style City Hall (principle architect: Arthur Brown, Jr.). This building, opened in 1915, replaced San Francisco's original City Hall, which was destroyed in the 1906 earthquake and fire. The date with which the photograph was labeled (May 14, 1934) does not appear to be accurate. The date is more likely circa 1925. See also 96-07-08-alb09-003 and 005, and 96-07-08-alb10-01.

  • McCarthy Album 05, Photograph 322

    Caption: "Fort Winfield Scott Target Practice." This postcard shows a plume of seawater thrown up by a mortar shell during target practice at Fort Point. Fort Point was part of an effort by the U.S. government to protect the Golden Gate, entrance to the San Francisco Bay. Built between 1853-1861, the fort included emplacements for 141 guns but never fired a weapon in defense of the Bay. Its name was officially changed in 1882 to Fort Winfield Scott. This only lasted four years, however, for in 1886 the fort was officially downgraded to a sub-post of the San Francisco Presidio and the name discontinued. It was resurrected in 1912, with the establishment of a coastal artillery fortification at the Presidio, called, once again, Fort Winfield Scott. See also 96-07-08-alb08-029.
