By the early 1920s, the Pinole waterfront had a
small, but industrious, Chinese encampment. They
leased the beach land from the Fernandez family.
Living in small houses on stilts above the bay, they
dug clams from the shallow tidelands. The fresh
clams were put into buckets hanging from poles,
shouldered, and sold in the early morning to the
local townsfolk.
There was also a Chinese bunkhouse on the
Fernandez wharf. An itinerant Chinese merchant
by the name of Sing Lee owned and operated a
large boat from Pinole and the clam beds between
Atlas (Giant) Powder and the Pinole waterfront.
He gathered the clams in big fruit boxes to sell in
the markets of Oakland and San Francisco.
Sing Lee would also sail to Red Rock in
nearby Richmond, where he fished and sold his
catch from doorstop to doorstop in Pinole, in
competition with the Italians who sold herring
from the bay. Many Chinese workers were also
employed in dangerous jobs in Hercules at the
California Powder Works. Accidental explosions
took many lives. By providing clams and fish to
Pinole’s citizens, the Chinese played a small, but
important role in community life. Today, grocery
shopping means the chore of a long, but necessary
trip to the local supermarket. However, there was
a time in Pinole when a knock on the front door
meant the store had come to you.
