We have a true story that deserves to be told. It's about a small
fishing boat that started out in the Mediterranean, over four
thousand years ago. She helped feed a growing civilization and
helped to opened up our world. Yet she received little respect. The
little boat was brought to San Francisco in the hearts of Italian
fishermen and boat builders during the 1849 gold rush. For one
hundred and fifty years she served that fair city providing food
and rescuing passengers of ships trying to enter the bay on foggy
nights. She even gave famous author Jack London's sailboat a tow
one windless day for which he paid six silver dollars. My hope is
that this story will help keep the little boats alive in print
because we owe The Little Boat so much and she has received so
little recognition or appreciation. I feel this story is
historical, inspirational and shows the love a person can have for
a beautiful boat whose design was improved by Leonardo da Vinci.
Universal studios has built a theme park in Osaka, Japan, It
includes a replica of San Francisco's Fisherman's Wharf. The little
boat featured in this story now lives in Osaka, Japan as a fine
representation of the "Little Boat That Could."
