Event Details
Submitted by the Event Organizer
On Feb. 11, 2023, author and journalist Aleta George will share research and writing from her upcoming book about Jack London and his enduring ties to the San Francisco Bay at Jack London State Historic Park.
Best known for his writing and world adventures, Jack London’s training ground and lifelong love was the San Francisco Bay. As a self-taught teenage sailor, he honed his boating skills and confidence as an oyster pirate and ad hoc deputy of the California Fish Patrol, skills that he took on the road. A decade later the author bought a sloop on which to write “The Sea Wolf,” and throughout, rest of his short life, sailed and wrote on the Bay.
“I am wedded to ‘Frisco Bay,” he said about a bond enmeshed with the immigrants who sailed alongside or with him, one that shaped the author and the man.
