Meiggs Wharf
text:
Meiggs' Wharf was an L-shaped wooden pier extending between 1,600 and 2,000 feet from the northern San Francisco shoreline, an exceptional distance for its time. It was built by transplanted Bostonian Henry Meiggs to attract the lumber shipping trade as part of his real estate development plans for what would become the North Beach area of San Francisco. Though it bankrupted him in the process, it would become a major part of North Beach and San Francisco society life.
