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.

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.

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.

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

SS Jeremiah O'Brien at Pier 45 stands as a testament to the unwavering spirit and patriotism of our nation's heroes.

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 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.
