Topics maritime, history, nautical, culture, heritage

Discover America's maritime heritage: board historic ships, tour the Maritime Museum, peruse our Visitor Center or collections at the Research Center. Mission San Francisco Maritime and its partners seek to forge emotional and intellectual connections through preservation and interpretation of the resources and stories of America's maritime gateways, history, and culture, especially the development of the Pacific Coast. Description Established in 1988, San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park encompasses 34 acres, and has the most National Historic Landmarks of any unit in the National Park Service. In addition to the fleet of historic ships at Hyde Street Pier, the park includes the Aquatic Park Historic District (Maritime Museum, beach, lawn area, and bleachers), a Visitor Center and a research library (in Fort Mason Center).
