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. Really helps you appreciate what you have and what it took to make it all happen.
It definitely worth to spend 10$ for this tour. I had very interesting talk with worker on orlop deck. Most of ship was open to visit. It would be great... read more to open area near guns on the deck, so you can make a cool photos there 🙂
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.
Really interesting, especially if you are lucky enough to get the tour of the engine room. Cool little museum with amazing diorama of the battle at Oklahoma beach.
Really cool! This was a really unique opportunity to explore an old WW2 boat, almost fully restored and still running! $20 per adult, there is a full, very informative museum... read more on board, and you get to roam over quite a few of the decks, including into the engine room. Very cool experience and very worth it.
Fun and historical. Was great to learn about the ships during ww2. Got to explore the ship on our own and be close up to the main guns.
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.
We had gone on a San Francisco bay cruise (highly recommended) and saw this ship docked at pier 45. It is a fully restored WWII merchant marine ship.... read more I looked up the history of the ship and decided we had to see it. 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.
