An incredible shot of San Francisco, California and a curious fact. Many buildings in the city are built on the remains of ships. During the gold rush, cars and airplanes did not yet exist. The only way to get to San Francisco was by boat.
Hundreds of ships were abandoned on the docks for years, until someone had the idea of giving them a new life. The ships were dismantled into pieces that would be used to build buildings starting in the 1870s. At that time, wood was scarce after several fires devastated the area. So the remains of abandoned ships were used to build buildings of all kinds.
