Fourth Grade Examines Famous Ship in Miniature

Carlos Oliva, Burke's longtime Director of Maintenance, is a model ship enthusiast. When fourth graders recently visited the ship Balcutha at the Hyde Street Pier as part of their unit on the Gold Rush, he showed them the mini version of the ship in the site's model shop!
"I was there representing the (Maritime) National Historical Park of San Francisco and it was such a pleasure to have our girls," he said. Many thanks to the Hyde Street Pier Model Shipwrights for the photo!
