Events and Activities

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.

A critically important WWII supply ship, this Liberty class vessel is impressive both in its size and history! It supported the Allied invasion at Normandy and is now only... read more one of two remaining Liberty ships in existence. Exploring the onboard museum, the crew quarters and engine room gives one an appreciation for its accomplishments and importance during wartime.

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.

This ship is a jewel. Beautifully restored/preserved. I especially enjoyed the engine room and the museum. Check out my picture of a small part of the incredible diorama in the... read more museum. Hard to believe it's not real.

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.

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.
