There are even some rare occasions when immigrants from Europe entered
the United States through a west coast ****t. My maternal grandfather,
born in Siracusa, Sicily, joined the British Navy, sailed around the
world, and arrived in the United States when his ****p docked in San
Francisco. Once there, he and several of his ****pmates deserted and
immediately joined the US navy.
