Wendy Brickman, President of Fisherman's Wharf Association, has spent many months carefully hunting and gathering historic images to create a fascinating 450-photo collection showcasing Old Fisherman's Wharf through the decades. This remarkable digital archive captures how the Wharf evolved over time—revealing changing boats, fashions, and activities—while preserving the enduring beauty of the Monterey Bay and the timeless charm of its waterfront buildings.

The collection offers a visual journey through Monterey's maritime heritage, allowing viewers to step back in time and appreciate the people and stories that shaped this iconic destination. It's both educational and nostalgic, providing a unique look at one of Monterey's most treasured landmarks.

The photo collection is easily accessible in PDF format by visiting MontereyHistory.org. Simply click on the "History" page in the top left menu and then select the photo collection link. This engaging visual record is sure to captivate anyone who loves Monterey's rich past and enduring coastal beauty.

Did you know...The Pilot Restaurant is where John Steinbeck used to write his books and perhaps have a cocktail too! It is now the pink Harbor House Gifts building at the head of the Wharf.
