Events and Activities

Took a tour in the ship while waiting for hotel check in. So glad as learned a lot about the ship and its role in WWII. Also took... read more pictures of the engine room where Titanic scene was filmed. Upkeep of the shop is by volunteers. Amazing still running, still active ship.

SS Jeremiah O'Brien at Pier 45 stands as a testament to the unwavering spirit and patriotism of our nation's heroes. Visiting this remarkable piece of history evokes a profound sense... read more of gratitude and admiration for the sacrifices made by brave men and women who fought for our freedom. As I explored the decks of the ship, I couldn't help but feel a deep connection to the patriots who risked their lives to protect our cherished way of life. The ship's preserved condition and immersive exhibits transported me back to a pivotal time in our nation's history, allowing me to appreciate the valor and dedication of those who served. I was moved by the importance of preserving this symbol of patriotism and history. I urge the local government to continue supporting and maintaining the SS Jeremiah O'Brien as a lasting tribute to the sacrifices made by these heroes. It is not only about political ideology but also a solemn obligation to honor the memory of those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. The SS Jeremiah O'Brien serves as a reminder that patriotism transcends political differences, uniting us as a nation. It stands as a tangible representation of the courage and commitment of our forefathers, reminding us of the values and principles that we hold dear. I eagerly look forward to visiting SS Jeremiah O'Brien again if the opportunity arises, to pay my respects to the patriots who fought for our liberty and to honor their enduring legacy.

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.
