A meow-ritime photo: Shipboard friends Peter (dog) and Morgan (cat) circa 1910. Likely pets of Captain P.H. Petersen. Is Morgan petting or swiping at Peter's head? You decide! #HappyNationalPetDay! 🐶🐱⛵️⚓

The surfaces of our ship, C.A. THAYER, are curved to shed water, but when covered in ice, they quickly shed people! For this reason, we did briefly close the pier yesterday.

But Hyde Street Pier is back open today! ☀️
