History
The San Francisco Maritime National Park Association has been around for more than 60 years, and is the original entity to acquire, curate, and make available to the public many of the historic vessels that compose the current fleet at the San Francisco Maritime National Historic Park. Our main function is now to run educational programs on the park's fleet of historic vessels, and to make the diverse and stunning venues here at the park available to the public for events such as weddings, conferences, galas, etc.
Specialties
We specialize in providing experiential, hands-on, living history education programming to children from 4th - 12th grade, including overnight field trips aboard the Balclutha, 3 hour sailing trips aboard the Alma, and boat building, rowing, and sailing programs at the Maritime Heritage and Learning Center, also known as the Sea Scout Base.
