Fleet Week aboard the O’Brien : October 10 and 11

Members in the Bay Area may be interested in taking advantage of this opportunity to view Fleet Week from a historic location.

SS Jeremiah O'Brien

National Liberty Ship Memorial
-Every year, the Navy, Marines, Coast Guard, and allied naval forces bring their ships into San Francisco Bay for Fleet Week.

Every year, most people stand on the shore and watch.

You don’t have to do that.

The SS Jeremiah O’Brien is sailing during Fleet Week — October 10 and 11.

You’ll be on the water, under steam, watching the naval vessels and the Blue Angels from the deck of a ship launched in 1943. Watch the engineers keep the lights burning and the screw turning. The crew will be at their stations. The Bay will be full of hardware that doesn’t get this close to shore very often.

Tickets: $195 Adults / $125 Youth / $480 Family

Early Bird Pricing is now in effect until August 31st!

Fireworks from a WWII Liberty ship. July 4, Pier 35

This opportunity might be of interest to members geographically located in the Bay Area.

SS Jeremiah O'Brien

National Liberty Ship Memorial
-There are a lot of places to watch San Francisco’s Fourth of July fireworks.

Most of them are parking lots. Some are beaches. A few are boats.

This one is a 441-foot WWII Liberty ship berthed at Pier 35 with a clear sightline to the Bay, a working bar, and a steam engine that’s been running continuously since 1943.

July 4, 2026 — Dockside aboard the SS Jeremiah O’Brien, Pier 35, San Francisco.

The ship opens at 7pm. Fireworks start at 9:30pm. Beer and wine will be available for purchase. The engine room will be open for tours before the show.

If you’ve been meaning to get down to the ship but never quite made it — to see the engine room, walk the decks, understand what these vessels actually were — the Fourth is the low-pressure way to do it. She’s docked. The crew is around. The fireworks are just the excuse.

Tickets: $45 adults / $30 seniors / $25 youth

A local activity that members may be interested in taking advantage.

SS Jeremiah O'Brien

National Liberty Ship Memorial
-June 6, 1944. The SS Jeremiah O’Brien was at Normandy.

Not watching from a port in England. Not in reserve. On the beaches, unloading cargo under fire, part of the largest amphibious invasion in military history. She made eleven round trips across the English Channel during the Normandy campaign. She was hit. She kept working.

Eighty-two years later, she’s berthed at Pier 35 in San Francisco. Still operational. Still crewed by volunteers.

This Saturday, June 6th, we open the ship to veterans and active duty military at no charge. No ceremony, no speeches — just an open gangway and a working Liberty ship for the people who understand what the date means.

Veterans and active duty military: free admission. Bring your DD-214 or military ID.

Guests and family are welcome at the regular admission rate.

June 6, 2026 | Pier 35, San Francisco | 10am to 4pm

The O’Brien is one of two surviving Liberty ships in operational condition in the world. D-Day is the one day of the year we think she should be free for the people she was built to support.
