Музей под открытым небом

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 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.

We had gone on a San Francisco bay cruise (highly recommended) and saw this ship docked at pier 45. It is a fully restored WWII merchant marine ship. I looked up the history of the ship and decided we had to see it. My father served in the Army Air Corps and spent 4 years in England during the war. He told stories of sailing on a ship like this. This ship was rescued from the moth ball fleet and fully restored to sea worthy condition. It even made the trip back to Normandy for the recent anniversary. You can explore the ship on a self guided tour. It is a trip back in time. This ship was built in 1943 and looks like it did when in active duty. I was impressed and amazed. It's probably not for little kids. For us big kids there is metal stair and ladder climbing to see everything . There is a museum on board which was very well done. This ship is a national treasure. It's well worth the price of admission.
