San Diego’s Waterfront: Back in the Day
Join local historian Jim Bregante for a historical journey depicting the rich history and romance of San Diego’s beautiful waterfront, including historic pictures of the local fishing industry, Jim’s experiences on the waterfront as a youth, and life in Little Italy.
Jim Bregante is a native San Diegan, Docent for the Maritime Museum of San Diego, and a member of the San Diego History Center and Italian Historical Society. An experienced speaker, Jim shares his experience of growing up in Little Italy, near the vibrant life of the waterfront, via a PowerPoint presentation, featuring pictures from historical and family archives.
Jim developed his presentation at the request of the Maritime Museum of San Diego as part of a training program for docents. Little did he realize it would turn into a new career.
Today, Jim has been called to share his story with many groups throughout San Diego. In seven years, Jim has given 250 presentations to an audience of over 9000 people.
