If you are in the San Francisco Bay area, the *place* to visit is the J. Porter Shaw Maritime Library. You can find contact info at:

There is a nice book that you might find on the various internet bookstores:

** San Francisco Bay: a Pictorial Maritime History; by John Haskell Kemble.

Here is a couple of other books I'm not familiar with, but might have some good information:

** San Francisco: International Port of Call: An Illustrated Maritime History of the Golden Gate; by Robert J. Schwendinger.

** Transformation of the San Francisco Bay Area shipping industry and its regional impacts (Working paper / Institute of Urban and Regional Development, University of California, Berkeley) (Unknown Binding); by Scott Campbell.

Also, here is a list of other maritime/shipping books that are listed for sale and might be of interest:
