Hamilton M. Wright outlines a two month long program for the Panama Pacific International Exposition in 1915. The plan features world class yacht and motorboat races, aviation contests, Olympic games, intercollegiate events, automobile races, and military maneuvers centered at Harbor View with a grand Midway concession area. The display will include a Chinese concession replica of the Great Wall, miniature waterways, and a vast esplanade along the harbor edge with grand exposition structures and pavilions.
The Panama-Pacific Exposition will light Harbor View with Finsen lights and waterfalls. A vast illuminated structure will crown the Golden Gate as battleships glow in the harbor. Side trips will include Yosemite Grand Canyon Yellowstone and Alaska as trains offer flexible routes to explore California and the Pacific region. The canal will shorten Atlantic Pacific journeys to under three weeks.
