A Ghost Ship on San Francisco's Shores
Story written 3 January 2008
More than five decades ago a great Atlantic ocean liner, the SS Independence, proudly steamed to exotic Mediterranean ports while serving up the finest caviar and champagne. Today, she's a ghost ship, and I'll tell you what it's like to be inside.

I am a fan of all things place-based, especially things that humans have built or created, and specifically things that are large, shocking, and or historic. I photograph these places as a hobby, but am a writer by profession.
