Great way to experience history! Well maintained, clean,and just plain cool ship you can explore. If you bring a receipt from the aquarium next door they take 1/2 off your admission.

My wife and I both attended the Halloween event and toured the SS American Victory during the day. They have done a great job rehabbing the ship to its former glory. You have the option of a guided tour, or a self-paced tour. You'll be able to explore multiple levels of the ship and interact with it. Definitely worth the price of admission!

I visited the ship with a couple friends recently. We enjoyed our day exploring this historic ship. I have been on several old military ships, but this was the first Cargo Ship that I’ve toured. We had a beautiful February day so it was very pleasant to tour. I recommend seeing her.

Interesting place, I wasn't expecting to find this museum on my trip and I learned something, I really can't ask for more. I'm sure you will enjoy it a lot more than I did if you have interest in ships and/war/history. I think it would be a perfect stop for kids.

You can see the boilers from an observation deck above the engine room. Perhaps you can ask for special permission to see it closer. Call them and ask.

Is the ship handicap accessible?

Stephanie Irwin | Aug 22, 2019
Edward Jurczak | Aug 22, 2019

This ship has many ladders and stairs to go from level to level and there are also many narrow passageways. I would not personally consider it to be handicapp accessible but they may have an elevator .I would call them and ask them about this.
