Events and Activities

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.

A great piece of our naval history and so amazing to see. The videos and dioramas are amazing. A great vantage point for viewing the wharf area, too.

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.

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.

Compared to the Pampanito (submarine) next door, the ticket price here definitely was worth the length of the tour. However, the entire heritage site was really badly managed. It was... read more peak tourist time when renovation and painting would continue on, the kitchen was actually making hot dogs for some private events, and the ship lacked a lot of explanation boards that describe what you are seeing. Essentially, you walk onto a historical boat without any explanation or history and somehow need to make sense of it all, all while your illusion broken by people "fixing" and renovating the boat. There are definitely jewels of the tour. The engine room is unique, there's a great WW2 museum in the lower level, etc. However, the entire presentation looked liked a junkyard. Visitors simply cannot get in the illusion that they were roaming around a WW2 ship. Also it would've been amazing to know exactly what role this particular ship played in D-Day at Normandy. Somehow all the presentation coming together felt badly managed and presented. A lost opportunity I would say. Won't probably return even with tourists visiting from out of town.

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 🙂
