Pacific Reserve Fleet
- STOCKTON, California

The Stockton Historical Maritime Museum acquired the former USS Lucid MSO-458,
and a collaboration agreement was established with the San Joaquin County Office of Education
to join with the museum in restoring this historic vessel as a floating museum ship
with direct historical relevance to the diverse shipbuilding history in Stockton.

In 1846, the first cargo boat ascended the
San Joaquin River. In 1848, John Doak established the first ferry
service on the river, and the first freight vessel,
the sloop
Maria, visited Stockton. In 1849, Doak brought lumber
from San Francisco to Stockton and began a lumber business. By the
1850s, the port had become
a center of commodity shipping and the supply center for the
goldfields. By the 1860s, the region saw a decline in gold production
and an increase in agriculture.
