"Steamer Day" in San Francisco in 1865


From a lithograph by E. Jump, a noted caricaturist of the era. On Steamer Day, which fell on the 13th and 28th of each month, all accounts were supposed to be paid. The lithograph shows the excitement and confusion which occurred as the ship from the East was about to arrive.
