Before You Board: Important Information
We want you to have a safe and enjoyable visit. Please be aware of the unique features of a historic ship:
- Tour Time: We recommend allowing a minimum of 60 minutes to adequately tour the ship.
- Last Entry: The last admission is allowed 60 minutes before the posted closing time.
- Facilities: The ship does not have running water or permanent restroom facilities. Porta-potties are available on the dock.
- Accessibility: The ship has very limited handicap accessibility. The tour involves navigating confined spaces, open decking, and steep ladders.
- Footwear: For your safety, we strongly recommend wearing closed-toe shoes.
- Gear: Please do not carry large bags, purses, or beverages aboard.
Pet Policy
While we love animals, due to the challenges of traversing open ladders and multiple levels on a historic ship, we do NOT allow pets aboard.
- Service Dogs: ADA certified Service Dogs are welcome. Please be advised that the steel deck can get very hot on sunny days. Standard admission rates apply for their owner
