San Francisco Maritime NHP

San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park includes a fleet of historic ships, a maritime museum, and a research center. The park's fleet of historic ships includes the steam ferryboat Eureka, the steam tugboat Hercules, and the scooner Alma, and other notable survivors from the late 19th and early 20th century. The maritime museum features exhibits on the history of San Francisco Bay and its role in the development of California. The research center houses a library and archives on maritime history stretching back to the 1930s, and is the largest maritime library on the West Coast. The park also offers educational programs and public events throughout the year. The visitor center, Hyde Street Pier, and Maritime Museum are all situated adjacent to the foot of Hyde Street and at the western end of the Fisherman's Wharf district.
