Title:

Interior details of the Eppleton Hall (built 1914; tugboat) upon her arrival in San Francisco from Newcastle, England

Description:

The Eppleton Hall is a steam sidewheeler with side-lever engines, and is the only remaining intact example of a Tyne paddle tug. These photographs document the Eppleton Hall arriving at San Francisco's Fisherman's Wharf on March 24, 1970. After extensive restorations in Newcastle, England, the tugboat was steamed to San Francisco by the owner, Captain Scott Newhall. Crew on this voyage via the Panama Canal included San Francisco Maritime Museum founder Karl Kortum and his son, John; restoration leader and rigging expert Bill Bartz, and his children Heide and Billy; as well as engineers and a purser. Despite technical difficulties, inclement weather conditions, and illness of the crew, she steamed through the Golden Gate on March 24, 1970. The vessel was donated to the National Park Service in 1979. She is now berthed at Hyde Street Pier. The slides were used in a presentation about the Eppleton Hall at the San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park on October 24, 1998. This portion of the slide show depicts interior views and details of the vessel.
