The culture which evolved from the commerce of the Gold Rush of 1849 and its shipping docks at the end of Pacific Street (i.e. the Barbary Coast) is discussed extensively in the article. The photo will better engage the reader, give vivid insight into that lost era of the past, and help Wikipedia better compete with alternative websites which present the same topic.
Not replaceable with
free media because
(
WP:NFCC#1
)
There are no other photos of the shipping docks and ferry boats of Buena Vista at the east end of the Barbary Coast's Pacific Street during this era (1860s) as free material (public domain, etc), and so no other image could be a valid replacement.
Minimal use (
WP:NFCC#3
)
It will only be used in the Barbary Coast, San Francisco article.

The San Francisco History Center, while not willing to release the image under a free license, has given explicit written permission for use of the image on Wikipedia with appropriate attribution. This alleviates any legal concerns, and the photo's caption as used in this article provides the required attribution with a credit line.
  • The San Francisco Public Library has a policy of tracking copyright holders, and if additional permissions are necessary, it is stated on the Full Record page for that historic photo. If the phrase "Restrictions May Apply" appears on that record then the photo still has a copyright holder. However if the phrase is absent, it means that the research of the San Francisco History Center has resulted in a lack of copyright holder.
  • However, even if this were not the case, the image would be legal under a claim of fair use as it is of low resolution and unsuitable for high-quality copies, would not decrease commercial demand for the original, is not used or sold for profit, and is used in the context of an educational discussion regarding the image.
