The Barbary Plague The Black Death in Victorian San Francisco by Marilyn Chase is a detailed history of the plague that first sailed into San Francisco on the steamer Australia on the day after New Year's in 1900. The ship passed inspection but some of her stow-aways, infected rats, escaped detection and made their way into the city's sewer system. Two months later the plague surfaced in Chinatown.
