Newscopy: "Steamer Day -Two views of lower Market street. The upper one taken during the days when the old clipper ships were bringing their hordes of argonauts around the horn. This picture shows what is presumably the old La Rue wharf, located between Market and Mission streets. The remarkable contrast shows present day San Franciscans just how much of the business district of the town has been reclaimed from the bay. Old photograph loaned by Taber studios.".
