"This NPS maritime interpretive exhibit has to be the most impressively curated little gem I've seen from the NPS. It's immersive with nearly every nook and cranny of the exhibit holding specific and well researched information. I usually find at least a few items that are misspelt or have incorrect information, but this was pretty faultless. I also enjoyed that all of the interactive pieces were working! Completely wowed by the entire little space and the show stopper was that lighthouse light spinning in the middle! Amazing. We didn't get to see everything because although small, it is packed full. A place to return to and maybe even get on the ships next time! Go here. Stay for a long time!"
"amazing gem in fisherman wharf!! a must see! how did I not discover this place before??"
"very interesting history of shipping of SF and West cost if your into tall ships a must see"
"Awesome spot to discover the history of San Francisco Bay! They have lots of tiny models and displays to make it interesting. They show how things were from the time of Native Americans to now. Feel free to take your time and explore everything at your own pace."
"Memorable visit to a national treasure. The place was deserted. San Francisco is not what it used to be. I'm sad by the neglect of this city. So many great cities of the United States are plagued with ineffective and ideology driven administrations. Our leaders forget that they are servants of the people and not the other way around. We were able to stroll on the lawns before having hot chocolate at Ghirardelli."
