Sunnyside District

In the late 1880s San Franciscan Behrend Joost signed a contract to provide dredging services for a canal-cutting venture in Panama. The attempt failed (a successful Panama Canal wouldn’t come until 1914), but Joost got out with a lot of money for his work before the enterprise collapsed.
