  The Lick planet search program began in 1987 when the first spectrum of
$\tau$ Ceti was taken with an iodine cell and the Hamilton Spectrograph.
Upgrades to the instrument improved the Doppler precision from about 10 m/s in
1992 to about 3 m/s in 1995. The project detected dozens of exoplanets with
orbital periods ranging from a few days to several years. The Lick survey
identified the first planet in an eccentric orbit (70 Virginis) and the first
multi-planet system around a normal main sequence star (Upsilon Andromedae).
These discoveries advanced our understanding of planet formation and orbital
migration. Data from this project helped to quantify a correlation between host
star metallicity and the occurrence rate of gas giant planets. The program also
served as a test bed for innovation with testing of a tip-tilt system at the
coud{\'e} focus and fiber scrambler designs to stabilize illumination of the
spectrometer optics. The Lick planet search with the Hamilton spectrograph
effectively ended when a heater malfunction compromised the integrity of the
iodine cell. Here, we present more than 14,000 velocities for 386 stars that
were surveyed between 1987 and 2011.
