The CAL Alumni band under the leadership of SHS President Jerry Taylor Returns to Sausalito for the 4th of July Parade.
This exhibit features traditional flags, as well as pennants and banners. Drawing from the collections of both the Historical Society and that of late Sausalito resident Frank Fuetsch, items date from the late 1800s to the 1980s. The collection includes flags from the Marinship World War-II era, Maritime Days, the Golden Gate Bridge Opening Fiesta, Naval flags, shipping company house flags and more.
Frank Fuetsch was born in 1914 in San Francisco, the son of Austrian and German parents. In 1942 he began working as a ship inspector at the Marinship, where he began collecting flags.
Some of his collection was donated by his daughter to Call of the Sea and the Sausalito Historical Society. Special thanks to Alan Olson and Call of the Sea for assisting with this project.
Many of the flags are ‘National Flags’, some are ‘Military Flags’, some are ‘Organization Flags’, and some are ‘House Flags’. ‘House Flags’ are flags from shipping and trade companies that perform international maritime commerce.
The Historical Society joined in the annual Festa do Espirito Santo Parade, a tradition in Sausalito since 1888. Society members join with the 2022 Queens outside the Sasualito Portuguese Cultural Center on Caledonia Street. ( Unfortunately the rain cancelled the parade, but the traditional ceremonies were carried on at the Star of the Sea followed by Sopa’s at the Center.
