Synopsis

Bill Pickelhaupt, in this reprint of a classic, tells the true story of shanghaiing-kidnapping men for a voyage at sea after they were slipped drugged liquor-and the politicians who let it happen in San Francisco for over sixty years. Includes victims' first-hand accounts and 50 photographs and drawings.

About this title

From the Author:

The inspiration for Shanghaied in San Francisco came while doing volunteer work in late 1995 at the San Francisco Maritime Museum indexing old oral history transcripts. Among these stories, a half-dozen first hand accounts of men who had actually been shanghaied leapt out at me. When I stumbled across three photographs of men who had shanghaied sailors in 19th century San Francisco, I knew the story of shanghaiing had to be told.
