It's just one of the 2 living and functional liberty ships of the 2710 built. If you want to be inside a piece of history please do visit. Well worth the money

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 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.

History afloat. Well kept floating history on the San Francisco Bay. A Liberty Ship that you can your through with plenty of exhibits. You can get an appreciation of what it took to win WW2.

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 in and explore the engine room of a working WW2 ship, not certain I will get another oppotunity like this again.

The boat is in great shape and I thoroughly enjoyed the self tour. There was an engineer in the bottom of the engine room that did a great job explaining how things worked. You could tell that he loved the ship.

My husband and I toured this ship and it was amazing. We got a private tour from one of the engineers of the ship. He showed us how the engine works and how big it is. It was nice that he stopped doing what he was doing and talked with us and answered our questions. It was amazing.

I loved the tour and the museum i feeled like it was off limits and it was being explored but it was open to the public 99% (only some rooms and some areas were off limits)

This is an awesome sight to visit. You can walk basically through the whole boat, see all the cabins and rooms, explore the deck and - the best part - is the machine room. Some ladders are to climb but manageable even for a four year old. Recommended for those who like ships, of course.

I always enjoy naval "museums" (maybe not the best word here, since this WWII cargo ship is still functioning) but was surprised to find that my wife and daughters (9 and 12 y.o.) were totally engrossed in exploring this ship for 2 hours. They most seemed to enjoy the multi-level engine room that was used for the scenes in "Titanic".

They do cruises during memorial day and I'm October. It's one of 3 remaining liberty ships left from world war two. And it's fully original and operational. During the cruises they offer love music free drinks and food. And you can go anywhere you want on the ship during the cruise. Even the engine room. They last 4-6 hours typically in the Pacific ocean. Only 100 something per ticket. Highly recommend it

Huuuuge working ship. There are three cruising dates for 2018.

$20 adult general admission. They offer a discount for kids, students, and seniors.

You can go pretty much anywhere on the ship. You just can't enter the rooms or some parts of the engine room.

There's a maritime museum and gift shop, too.

Nowhere near as good as the submarine just next to it. No audio tour and really not much of a tour at all.

This was really neat, since my husband is a student he got a really good price, this has a lot to look at, you can can go almost anywhere if it's not roped off but you can still look and take pictures and there is also bathrooms aboard that you can use.

This is one of the rare ships that survived the Normandy attack. Also, this is the one of the two ships still functioning among the ~2700 Liberty class ships made. The ship is well maintained and almost all areas of the ship are accessible. If you climb to the front turret area, you can aim the turret by rotating a wheel which is really cool. Also, the engine room is famous as the Titanic movie scene before iceberg collision was filmed here.

Bit on the pricey side, but meant less tourists so better for photos. Loved it though, would recommend if you are into this sort of thing. BATTLESHIP!

Great place to watch the 4th of July fireworks. The views were amazing. Bring a jacket and blanket because it gets really cold.

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 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.

It was so much fun taking the kids through the different corridors and spaces. A lot of history in there. There was even a cute gift shop inside. It was amazing to climb to the top and see San Francisco from that view. Breathtaking. Really helps you appreciate what you have and what it took to make it all happen.

An amazing part of world war 2 history. It's still functional and goes out on the bay twice a year. If you want purchase a ticket for 1 of those cruises I'd recommend it since every dollar spent to view the ship goes toward taking care of her and making sure she stays afloat.
