Mechanicrawl 2008: all-day museum and geek walk & museums (Fisherman’s Wharf)
A \"pub crawl\" of museums and mechanical wonders along San Francisco\'s northern shore
| Saturday, July 12 | ||
| 3:00 pm | to | 8:00 pm |
Spend a summer day exploring the mechanical marvels along San Francisco’s northern shore (i.e. Fisherman’s Wharf to the Marina District) . See giant running steam engines, turn of the century automata, mechanical computers, an 8 foot high mechanical planetarium and more. You’ll be able to map your own route for the event and spend as much time at each location as you’d like and see several amazing machines that are usually not available to the public. Venues include SS Jeremiah O’Brien, Exploratorium, Musee Mecanique, USS Pampanito Submarine among others
See the giant running steam engine aboard the SS Jeremiah O’Brien, one of the most complex mechanical computers ever built, The Torpedo Data Computer aboard the USS Pampanito Submarine, turn-of-the-century automata, over 200 coin operated machines and video games at the Musee Mecanique, the Orrey, Solar Synchronizer and new Walking Bearing at The Long Now Museum and Store, special films and exhibits at the Exploratorium and more.
The hope is to re-tie Bay Area residents to some of the coolest stuff that we have here in SF that they generally never see because it is in or around Fisherman’s Wharf.
