Super cool if you are into history- best part is it's still a working ship that they sometimes take it out in the bay. But while it's on the pier... read more you can tour at your leisure and see the impressive steam engine or play on the guns on the main deck. You also get a great view of the Golden gate bridge.
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.
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.
For Fleet Week, we got our cruise tickets off Eventbrite $175. This was such a fun experience. The crew and volunteers were friendly and made the ride memorable. I loved... read more the live band and the announcer pointing out the details of the ride and where we were on the bay. There were about 900 people on the boat. It departed at 10am and returned back at 5pm. Upon boarding, there were coffee, donuts, hot chocolate and tea. The lunch service started at around 11am with hot dogs and tacos. The beer and wine ran out at around 2pm. The line for the tacos went almost the length of ship at one point. Good job everyone on SS Jeremiah O'Brien.
Very cool experience, definitely recommend checking it out. There's a museum type area with tons of information and displays as well as a gift shop. You can also roam around... read more several decks and the engine room, which was used to film Titanic. Tons of areas are accessable, it's a self guided tour for $20.
Amazing old World War 2 ship, got a whole history lesson from a veteran of the war himself, James. He’s 92 and volunteers his time to teach people about the... read more history of the boat and he knows his stuff. What an incredible man. Got to walk around the entire ship myself and see some really cool stuff, even the engine room which I’m pretty sure I wasn’t supposed to be in I got into some places that seemed pretty closed off (my fault) still was an incredible day haha
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.
Not one singular thing won the Second World War. All efforts contributed to the destruction and dismantling of hateful and fascist regimes. To be in the presence of one of... read more those mechanical efforts is awe-inspiring. Yeah, a Liberty ship may not be 'sexy' or necessarily eye-appealing, but these ships were the foundation of multiple successful military campaigns. This ship is the s**t.
