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.

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.

You can see it from Plaza de California.

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.
