Balance Toy. Will this fish ever be caught? Articulated
fisherman balances on its stand, gently lowering and raising
his rod. Patience is what fishermen are known for and good
balance is what they need. |
Want to give that special salt a
gift with a nautical twist? Check out the Maritime Store at the Hyde
Street Pier in San Francisco where you will find everything from
classic model yachts to decorative compasses, barometers, and even
nautical weathervanes!
You will find an extensive
selection of maritime books gracing the shelves of the Maritime
Store. You are guaranteed to find the perfect something for that
maritime guy or gal in your life, beautiful coffee table books,
maritime fiction and literature, as well as reference and "how
to" books from sailing for beginners to tying knots. The
Maritime Store also has a great selection of kids nautical books and
toys!
The Maritime Store is located at
the Hyde Street Pier where you will find the historic ships that
once graced the San Francisco Bay. The Hyde Street Pier is operated
and maintained by the San Francisco Maritime National Historical
Park and the San Francisco Maritime National Park Association. All
proceeds from the merchandise you purchase at the Maritime Store
goes towards the restoration and preservation of the ships and the
"Age of Sail" maritime education programs.
