Donkey Boiler Demonstration on Hyde Street Pier, circa 1979

Images of park staff with the circa 1920s donkey boiler engine preparing for demonstration at Hyde Street Pier. These portable, steam-powered winches were common along the San Francisco waterfront from the 1880s into the 1920s; they were used to lift heavy objects from the pier to the deck of the ship.

Close-up of an unidentified ranger oiling the donkey boiler on Hyde Street Pier, in preparation for demonstration. Another ranger can be seen standing in the background.
