Dodał: IT'S HISTORY
When the California Gold Rush exploded in 1848, vessels arrived by the thousands, only for their crews to desert the moment the anchor dropped. With no one to sail them home and no plan for what came next, the ships were left to rot in Yerba Buena Cove.

Rather than let them sit idle, a city under pressure from explosive growth made a radical decision: sink the ships, claim the water, and build on top of them. What followed was one of the most improvised and chaotic acts of urban construction in American history. Today, archaeologists estimate that between 50 and 200 ships remain entombed beneath the streets including the Niantic, once described as the finest hotel in San Francisco, now sealed beneath a parking lot.
