San Francisco
History
The built-up area includes more than 1,6 millions inhabitants and has spawned over the surrounding hills. It is an important harbor, an industrial (oil refinery, shipyard and cars) and service (finance, resort) place. On the other side of the bay, the harbor and city of Oakland are facing her. It is also a place of culture: university (Berkeley), art (european, american, asian; modern...) and natural history museums. Alone in the bay, the Alcatraz penitentiary is now out of service. The Pamir made five voyages there from Wellington under New Zealand flag between 1942 and 1945.
