  • Facilities: The ship does not have running water or permanent restroom facilities. Portable restrooms are available on the dock.

  • Accessibility: Due to the ship’s historic design, accessibility is limited. The tour includes steep ladders, narrow passageways, uneven surfaces, and open exterior decks.

  • Footwear: Closed-toe shoes are strongly recommended for your safety.

  • Bags & Beverages: Please do not bring large bags, oversized purses, food, or beverages aboard.

Pet Policy

Pets are not permitted aboard the ship due to the challenges of navigating multiple decks and steep ladders.
