Photo of the Day: Grace Quan

By LaDonna | October 22, 2007 | San Francisco Bay |

Today’s Photo of the Day is of the rustic and lovely Grace Quan. While Grace looks as old and salty as the sea itself, the 42-ft replica of a traditional Chinese shrimping junk was actually launched in 2003 at China Camp State Park. One of the most eye-catching boats on the Bay, Grace lives half the year at San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park’s Hyde Street Pier, and the other half at China Camp. Check out www.nps.gov/archive/safr/junk.html for more info on her history and unique construction.
