A worthwhile stop if you like ships. They have two submarines as well which is something you don't get to see to often. All the ships, as well as the submarines, are open to explore at your own pace. There is staff present to answer your questions. Everything in the museum is well maintained and kept in a very neat... More

We loved the two submarines. It was fascinating to compare and contrast USA and USSA subs from about the same era and get a good feel for how it must have been to serve in them. We loved the decommissioned San Francisco ferry that houses the shop; it was a marvellous old ship. And (almost) finally, the two sailing ships,... More

When you consider the cost of some attractions, this one is a steal! We started our tour on Star of India and my husband asked rather disappointingly if that was it. No I said, there's more. In fact there's lots more. We spent a very pleasant, hassle free, Sunday afternoon just wandering around the ships and submarines. We found everything... More

The museum has several real decommissioned vessels and a few replicas. Very interesting and more to see than one has time for unless you arrive early and stay late.

This is an amazing opportunity to see and actually climb around many types of vessels. Wonderful and educational displays throughout. Purchase the Bay Tour boat ride too. This gives a real seance of the history and location of the bay. Don't miss this spot if you are at all interested in maritime history.

I love this amazing museum. From tall ships to submarines, it gives great insights into a broad spectrum of maritime history. Wear comfortable shoes and enjoy! The docents are great and friendly and ready to answer any questions you have.

About 8 or so boats/ships that were ok, but the two submarines were really cool. Recommend going just to go on the soviet submarine. Reasonably priced for a family pack ~$40, you can throw in a harbor "cruise" for a few dollars more. They have a replica ship being worked on, would have been nice to see that.

I'd like to give this 3.5 stars, but as halves aren't an option, I'd rather error on the positive side. This is a small collection of ships; at the time of my visit the main attractions were the Star of India, HMS Surprise, a Soviet B-39 submarine (Cold War era), the USS Dolphin submarine (research vessel), the steam yacht Medea,...

Just what the title says. It is not as good as it is advertised. The best part- The Star of India, the oldest surviving wooden ship on the west coast. The worst part- Russian submarine. I counted at least 12! mistakes in spelling and representations while on board (I am originally from Russia). One might think- no big deal, 99%... More
