The square-rigged sailing ship Balcutha, steam schooner Wapama, three-masted schooner C.A. Thayer, walking-beam ferry Eureka, scow schooner Alma, steam tug Hercules, paddle wheel tug Eppleton Hall, and numerous smaller craft are preserved. Many of the ships are at the Hyde Street Pier at Aquatic Park in San Francisco. Not far from the pier is the National Maritime Museum with displays of ship models and historic artifacts. The J. Porter Shaw Library and extensive collections of ship plans and photographs are at the nearby Fort Mason Center, as is the World War II Liberty Ship SS Jeremiah O'Brien.
The Maritime Historical Park is an interesting collection of old ships and should be included in plans of sight-seeing along the colorful waterfront of San Francisco.
