To commemorate the 150th anniversary of Jack London's birth on January 12, 1876, I wrote an article about the boats he sailed on San Francisco Bay for Latitude 38, a beyond-regional sailing magazine that has been going strong since 1977.
London had a lifelong love affair with San Francisco Bay, and that is why I am writing a book about how the Bay, and its multicultural maritime community, shaped him.
