The 441 foot S.S. JEREMIAH O'BRIEN
was an integral participant in helping James
Cameron's major motion picture Titanic take
home 3 of its 11 Academy Awards, including Best Sound,
Best Sound Effects, and Best Visual
Effects. Many interiors,
sounds and visuals for Titanic were
captured aboard the S.S. Jeremiah O'Brien, including her
fully-operational triple expansion marine steam engine, which
provided the dramatic massive and churning metallic parts
of the famed White Star liner's engine room. RENTAL INFORMATION To find out about more information in regards to renting out the S.S.

Jeremiah O'Brien is available for lease for six-hour – or longer - themed-cruises around the breathtaking San Francisco Bay for up to 800 passengers, as well as ‘moored' day, evening, and weekend events for corporate, veteran, military and government functions, conventioneers, radio station and general entertainment functions, and even weddings.

One reveler attending a recent Silicon Valley technology company party, held in the massive Cargo Hold #2, lauded the venue and event planner's production skills, stating the modified lighting and decor appear like a ‘cross between The Hunt for Red October and Blade Runner.' A savvy event planner is only limited by their imagination as to what kind of memorable themed events can be hosted aboard the S.S. Jeremiah O'Brien, whether she's plying the gentle waves of the San Francisco Bay or moored to her home Pier 45. Special Holiday functions for Christmas, Independence Day, Halloween, Memorial and Veterans Days, and others, are available. In addition, entertainment industry gala events, such as the mini series premiere of The War by documentary filmmaker Ken Burns, were held aboard the S.S. Jeremiah O'Brien in her expansive cargo hold. The O'Brien 's expansive exterior deck areas can accommodate historical scene recreations for film and television productions, with casts of up to 800 extras, while the ship is moored or underway on the San Francisco Bay or Pacific Ocean. The massive metallic, industrialized cargo areas can easily accommodate scenes involving 200 to 300 extras. Location scouts will also appreciate the historical accuracy of 1940's-era crew and captains quarters, the bridge, radio room, galley, and antiaircraft gun, and canon emplacements. The O'Brien draws from a highly trained, Coast Guard-approved
crew and staff of 300 engineers, mariners, deckhands, and docents
that can be employed to assist in any production.
