There’s just so much to learn and studying history doesn’t happen in a vacuum. And let’s not forget about the waters they float in-the San Francisco Bay. SO: Our park’s mission is to, quote, “forge emotional and intellectual connections through preservation and interpretation of the resources and stories of America's maritime gateways, history, and culture, especially the development of the Pacific Coast.”ĪM:Ěnd they’re a great place to start learning!ĪM: So much history is held within the walls of our ships. What could we learn? How could we continue to serve our park and its mission? For us, it was to learn as much as we could and to share it however was feasible. We did not have to worry immediately about shelter, food, or whether we would receive our next paycheck.ĪM:ěut we worried about how we could best use this time away from our physical park. When shelter-in-place orders for the COVID-19 pandemic were issued in San Francisco, we didn’t know how long we would be working from home, or what “working from home” would look like for people whose jobs were regularly interacting with thousands of people each day.
SO: Since you hit the play button, you probably know that you’re about to listen to the first episode of our podcast series, Better Lives, Bitter Lies.ĪM:ěut, before the episode proper, we wanted to take a moment to talk about why we started this podcast. AM: We’re park guides at San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park.
