Loaded with prospectors and tons of gear and supplies, the sailing ship Lucile prepared to cast off its lines and sail for Alaska and the Klondike in 1898. The vintage square-rigger was just one of hundreds of steam and sail-powered ships that carried fortune-seekers north to the gold fields.

Here's the Palm OS tide program that several boaters think is excellent:
For a special treat, sailing Palm enthusiasts should scroll down to the bullet item "From San Francisco Bay" under the heading "How People Use Tide Tool". (May be the eleventh bullet item beneath that heading.) (Jeff Hawkins, designer of the Palm and Handspring Visor, uses Tide Tool.)
While we're on this subject, here's a link to a free tide & current program for your desktop computer:
This is a Java app, which means that it runs on both PCs and Macs. (Windows
users will have to make certain that the Java runtime system is in place.
Having the Java browser plug-in in place isn't enough. For information,
see the Microsoft web site.)
There are web sites that generate tables, too.
