Ok if you really like boats i guess
ColbyIm not into muesums so i just wanted to go in the old ship but after going into the battleship across the river this one is just not nearly as fun
Very cool!
TatharnethFriendly staff and very awesome exhibits! Plus it wasn’t crowded.
Must See Ship
Darcy TThe Olympia is absolutely beautiful. Learning her history was an awesome addition to our trip. It was such a unique opportunity to see a transitional ship like this.
Unable to see outside boats
CmclDue to dangerous air quality from the Canadian fires, the outside boats were unavailable to be seen. The museum was nice.
Worth the time!
JenniferGreat historical overview of two different time periods and two very different vessels.
Very nice museum - cool exhibits
AnonymousIt was cool to walk on board of a real battleship. The rest of the museum also had interesting exhibits on the history of American seafaring and global trade.
