Notes: "All was not lost when sidewheel paddle steamship China was dismantled. The aft deckhouse on her spar deck was removed intact before she was burned in 1886, and remains unique in the world as a structural memorial to William Henry Webb's shipbuilding genius. Used as a dwelling for 93 years, the Belvedere-Tiburon Landmarks Society restored it in 1979 and maintains it in perpetuity as the China Cabin"-- rear jacket.
