Do women bring bad luck to ships?

What lasting effects did the gold rush have on California?
Because of the gold rush California became a state in 1850. Cities like San Francisco grew, Sacramento became a city and gold rush towns were built overnight. The land still has the scars from hydraulic mining, piles of dirt where miners dug, and mines in hillsides. The upper Sacamento river became a highway of boats and ships were left in San Francisco ports ( today ships are still uncovered with new construction). Finally the legacy of the history is as much a part of what makes the state what it is today. The men and women who came for gold were strong independent individuals and so is the state today filled with like minded people. We are like no other state.
