§410nn Establishment

Summary

Creates the San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park to preserve and explain the history and achievements of American seafarers and the Nation’s maritime heritage, especially on the Pacific coast. The park includes the lands shown on the map titled “Boundary Map, San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park,” number 641/80,053, dated April 7, 1987, which is on file and open for public inspection at National Park Service offices and the park superintendent’s office. After the park’s General Management Plan is finished, the Secretary of the Interior may add the Haslett Warehouse at Jefferson and Hyde Streets if it helps the park, after notifying the Committee on Natural Resources of the House and the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources of the Senate. The Secretary may also make other minor boundary changes under section 100506(c) of title 54. The Secretary must remove the park area from the Golden Gate National Recreation Area and transfer to the new park all federal land and property there (including the museum building) and any vessels, marine collections, libraries, historic documents, equipment, and other maritime artifacts that were managed as part of the Recreation Area and relate to maritime history. The building that holds those collections must be named the “Sala Burton Building” and display a prominent plaque with that name.
