About this audio guide
This guide to Lands End Lookout in San Francisco follows the schooner Parallel, which left port in January 1887 loaded illegally with forty tons of blasting powder, bound for Oregon. Fog and tides pinned her offshore below this cliff, and her crew rowed to safety without lighting a warning flare, leaving the oil lamps burning below deck. You'll also hear about the other wrecks resting in the same cove, ships lost to the same fog and rocks over the decades.
