We recommend allowing a minimum of 60 minutes to adequately tour the ship.

  • The ship does not have running water or restroom facilities.
    We do offer porta-potties.
  • The ship has very limited handicap-accessibility.
  • Be advised that the ship contains confined spaces, open decking, and steep ladders.
  • We recommend that you wear closed-toe shoes and do not carry large bags, purses or beverages.
  • Last admission allowed 60 minutes before posted closing time (6 pm).
  • Are we “pet friendly”? Though we personally are, the ship is not. Due to the challenges presented on this historic ship, such as open ladders and traversing many levels, we do NOT allow pets aboard. What we DO allow is ADA certified Service Dogs which are limited to touring ONLY the main deck. Keep in mind that the steel deck can get very hot. Standard admission rates apply.
