Published since 2005. San Francisco is a city that belongs to the people of the world. Hence this blog has a global focus. The name "Sam Spade's San Francisco" refers to an exciting era in the City's history, the time of Dashiell Hammett's fictional gumshoe and San Francisco character, Sam Spade. My name is Tom Dunn and I edit the blog. I'm not as exciting as Sam Spade, but I am definitely a San Francisco character.Contact or on Twitter -- Search blog below.

USCGB Eagle, America's Tall Ship - New Photo
In the Photo:
The barque USCGB Eagle, also known as "America's Tall Ship", arrived in Elliott Bay at Seattle, Washington, to make a one day stopover on its way to participate in the Tall Ships Tacoma 2008 event in Tacoma, Washington.
The Eagle's crew has spent this summer training more than 130 Coast Guard Academy cadets and Naval Academy midshipmen. The Eagle has served as a floating classroom to future Coast Guard officers since 1946 offering fundamental leadership, teamwork and seamanship skills.
