SUMMARY:"Then\, Now\, and Forever" concert for the Presidio featuring Juniper Djinn
DESCRIPTION:On the afternoon of Sunday\, April 6th\, 2025\, the Presidio Historical Association (PHA) will present Then\, Now\, and Forever. A gathering in the historic Presidio Chapel featuring jazz-blues-folk musicians Juniper Djinn\, performing rousing and nostalgic selections from their extensive playlist. The PHA is thrilled to have the generous support of the Interfaith Center at the Presidio and PHA members\, donors\, and sponsors for this event. \nThe Presidio Historical Association has been\, over its many years\, guardians of the Presidio’s stories and structures and worked in support of the National Park Service\, the Presidio Trust\, and the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy in these efforts. But at no time has that mission been as critical in the Presidio’s existence\, and we felt there was no better time to rally support for the park and bring awareness to our organization by presenting this free-to-the-public gathering—of song and solidarity. \nPlease join us in keeping and sharing the Presidio’s complex and compelling stories alive and help keep the work of the PHA vital for present and future generations. \nSeating is free but limited—reservations are required. \nA small reception will follow. Limited paid parking is available. \nPresidio Chapel / 130 Fisher Loop / Presidio\, San Francisco\, CA / 94129

SUMMARY:PHA Annual Meeting With Lecture From Phil Williams On "His Majesty's Ship Racoon"
DESCRIPTION:THE CURIOUS VOYAGE OF HIS MAJESTY’S SHIP RACOON \nHow Her Action in the War of 1812 Changed the Geography of America \nThe Presidio Historic Association 4/26/25 \nPhilip B. Williams Ph.D. \nOn the morning of January 14th\, 1814\, HMS Racoon arrived off the Farallon Islands. She was in a desperate state. Her hull was heavily damaged and for the last two weeks her crew had been continuously manning the pumps in a losing battle to keep her afloat. Now they were exhausted\, out of provisions\, and encountering a huge breaking swell on the San Francisco bar. They had only one last chance to make it to safety. So\, with all sails set\, hatches battened down\, and topweight jettisoned\, they ran before a gale through the breaking surf\, to anchor at last in calm water off the Presidio beach. They urgently needed the help of Commandante Arguello to repair and resupply. \nPhil Williams will tell us the fascinating story of how the Racoon came to be here in San Francisco\, and the enormous geopolitical consequences of what she had done. \nSpeaker Phil Williams emigrated to the United States from England 55 years ago. His father was a Royal Navy officer\, so he spent his youth among British warships in Portsmouth Harbor in Hampshire\, immersed in naval history. In San Francisco he founded a consulting firm dedicated to environmental restoration and one of his projects was the Crissy Field wetland restoration\, located exactly where HMS Racoon was dragged ashore. In his retirement Phil’s interest is researching the history of the British Navy on the Pacific Coast and he is the Vice President of the Drake Navigators Guild.
