Events and Activities

You can see the golden bridge and Alcatraz. If a good sunny day you can take pictures. Love the dorms and history of the ship.

A great piece of History. This is my fifth or 6th World War II vessel that I've been on and it did not disappoint. We got extra Lucky in the... read more weekend we were in town they were going to be taking it out on the Harbor so we got to go down in the engine room while it was running and see all the working moving parts. Definitely worth the stop.

Amazing old World War 2 ship, got a whole history lesson from a veteran of the war himself, James. He’s 92 and volunteers his time to teach people about the... read more history of the boat and he knows his stuff. What an incredible man. Got to walk around the entire ship myself and see some really cool stuff, even the engine room which I’m pretty sure I wasn’t supposed to be in I got into some places that seemed pretty closed off (my fault) still was an incredible day haha

We had some time to spare while waiting for our upcoming tour departure and it was well worth choosing this as out stop. The cost was in line with general... read more tourist attractions, but this had the benefit of being a real liberty chip built for and used during the second world war. It was especially interesting to see (and climb into) the steel and concrete (yes concrete) gunner stations, and also to see the old steam engine room. The ticket provides access to the all available areas of the ship and you should allocate a good hour to thoroughly look around. Not suitable for mobility impaired as this is an unmodified 1904's warship.

This ship is a maritime treasure and historic monument to WW2. I first visited this ship when it was moored at Fort Mason in the late 1980s. The volunteers have... read more done a great job keeping this ship in working order. Worth at least 45 minutes if you're in the area. Suitable for anyone with an interest in history, WW2, engines, or anything nautical. Relatively kid friendly, but there are dirty and greasy things that may be encountered. The volunteers aboard are very helpful and friendly. Admission varies by age and category, but well worth it. Not at all crowded off season.

Even if you're not a history buff taking a guided tour of the SS Jeremiah is like a backstage pass to history - and do take the guided tour -... read more much better than walking around aimlessly. There are only 4 liberty ships (out of the 2,710 built) still floating and the SS Jeremiah has been restored to its near original condition and gives you a small taste of what being a wartime sailor was like. Amazingly, these ships were built in an average 42 days, with three ships being completed per day by 1943. You have to be up close to and see the sheer size and scale of these boats to see how amazing that is.
