San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park

This unique Park, located at the west end of San Francisco's Fisherman's Wharf, includes the fleet of historic vessels at Hyde Street Pier, the Maritime Museum, and the Maritime Museum Library. Each year: over a half million visitors board turn-of-the-century ships and tour the Museum; hundreds learn traditional arts -- like boatbuilding and woodworking -- in Park classes and workshops; and thousands of schoolchildren spend the night aboard the 1895 schooner C.A. Thayer as part of an innovative educational program. The Park offers history, music and craft programs for all ages, and provides unique opportunities for docents, interns and volunteers to become part of history!
