A striking panorama showing the Alameda being unloaded offshore in the San Francisco marina. The steamer, owned by the Oceanic Steamship Co., ran aground in a thick fog on September 30, 1905, on a reef near Fort Point. Over 100 passengers were on board, all of whom were saved, as was most of what was, according to newspaper accounts, a valuable cargo bound for Honolulu.
