We had gone on a San Francisco bay cruise (highly recommended) and saw this ship docked at pier 45.

My father served in the Army Air Corps and spent 4 years in England during the war. He told stories of sailing on a ship like this. This ship was rescued from the moth ball fleet and fully restored to sea worthy condition. It even made the trip back to Normandy for the recent anniversary. You can explore the ship on a self guided tour. It is a trip back in time. This ship was built in 1943 and looks like it did when in active duty. I was impressed and amazed. It's probably not for little kids. For us big kids there is metal stair and ladder climbing to see everything . There is a museum on board which was very well done. This ship is a national treasure. It's well worth the price of admission.

What a fantastic opportunity. Loved exploring this ship, just upset that my phone was so low on battery, as I could have taken hundreds of pictures. The opportunity to get... read more in and explore the engine room of a working WW2 ship, not certain I will get another oppotunity like this again.
It was so much fun taking the kids through the different corridors and spaces. A lot of history in there. There was even a cute gift shop inside. ... read more It was amazing to climb to the top and see San Francisco from that view. Breathtaking.
