Originally fired at 6 p.m. on Sundays to signal the end of fishing, by 1898 it had become the city’s daily time signal—sounding at 9 p.m. PST so ships could set their chronometers. Modern operation is electric—the barrel is still loaded with black powder and triggered automatically; lights dim 10 seconds before the boom and snap back on afterward.
