I'm a baby boomer who served in the navy, so I find this type of exhibit very interesting. Great, too, for someone who has never been on a navy ship.

Had a marvelous time running (OK walk don't run) through the various levels of the ship and viewing the captains quarters. Found maps to peal through and completely enjoyed every moment of every level of exploring. I only wish I had planned more time on the ship before it closed.

Victory ships were a special creation of WWII. This one is maintained in sailing condition by volunteers. Actually sails once or twice a year. Adopted as museum with some exhibits and walkways. Great little tour for WWII buffs or anyone interested in steam powered ships.

Some areas could benefit from some additional restoration but it was a good visit. Well organized with a little guide book and map to orient and see the ship. Its not designed for people... More

We visited the ship in Dec. after Christmas. There were no crowds, parking was free, and there were a lot of stairs to climb. We had a great time and would recommend it to others. I do not like hot weather & it was very comfortable when we were there. I would not enjoy the ship if it were raining... More

We visited the SS American Victory ship while on a "staycation" in Tampa. Definitely a unique piece of American history. While on the ship we had the privilege of meeting a former ship mate who served in 1950-51, during the Korean War. He said the ship was used to transport ammunition to General McArthur and his forces. The tour is... More
