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.
An awesome piece of history! The volunteers were more than happy to talk about their work and all care immensely about what they are doing. Lots of history to keep... read more adults interested, but there is also plenty of cool things to look at for kids as well. One of the most expansive ship museums where very little was off limits. It's not everyday you get to actually aim a deck gun.
This was soooo much fun. My girlfriend and i spend over 5 hours here and it felt,like half an hour. It was an absolute treat seeing, touching, playing with historical... read more items on this self guided tours. I learned alot about maritime military. And i also learned alot about the tactical strategys taken during D-Day. I will be coming back again, best 20 bucks i ever spent.
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.
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.
My wife and I visited the Jeremiah O'Brien in May and toured the vessel on a slow Thursday, which was more than enough to convince us to return this October... read more for the 2022 Fleet Week cruise. Unfortunately the weather was un-participative for the Air Show, but the privelage of being on a functioning 79 year old Liberty Ship sailing such a beautiful area was more than enough. I'd recommend it to anyone who loves naval history, or engineering, or the Bay Area.
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
