This marker is one of a series intended to commemorate the 150 years of the Port of San Francisco. It is composed of a captioned photograph and text entitled Did you know... mounted on a cylindrical metal pylon.

The SS Malolo, launched in 1927 and shown here in San Francisco in 1934, was the largest and most palatial cruise liner built in the United States at the time. She was equipped with only first-class cabins and could reach Hawaii in a mere four-and-a-half days with here 650 passengers.

Did you know...

San Francisco has hosted "world cruises" since 1910, when the SS Cleveland called in port carrying 762 passengers. The 588-foot ship sailed from New York to Europe, the Far East and the Pacific Islands before arriving in San Francisco. The San Francisco Chronicle reported that the SS Cleveland purchased $1,000,000 worth of supplies for the three-month voyage back to the East Coast.
