An Adventure in Maritime History
Visiting the Los Angeles Maritime Museum is a journey through history. The Museum is located in the historic municipal ferry terminal. From 1941 to 1963 thousands of workers boarded here to catch the ferry to Terminal Island. Today the ferry is gone, but the building remains an active place.

Travel up the original pedestrian ramp, now lined with ship models of all sizes. Tie a sailor's knot, learn to steer a ship, and witness the changing scenes of one of the world's busiest ports.

2002 Tall Ships Festival
