Anyone who would travel to San Francisco as a traveler would realize that Fisherman's Wharf is one of the most popular travel destinations in San Francisco, representing the entire city's culture. There are many attractions in Fisherman's Wharf - some are important sites, and some are not so important. The place where the historical ships are found is something unique you should visit.

| Pier 45 - Main Entrance |
The main entrance of Pier 45 at Fisherman's Wharf of San Francisco is a heritage site. Behind the main door, you can find two historic ships of the US - USS Pampanito, the submarine, and SS Jeremiah, a World War II ship. You can go aboard both the submarine and ship by paying a nominal fee at the ticket counter located at the entrance.
USS Pampanito is a submarine. It served as a United States Navy ship and completed six war patrols from 1944 to 1945. Then, it served as a Naval Reserve Training ship from 1960 to 1971. Now, the submarine is preserved as a memorial on this site. It's a fun and unique experience to board the submarine and visit various sections inside it. Some units would give a feel of getting inside a warship, whereas some areas, such as the staff room and officers' room, would provide a feeling of a big train.

| USS Pampanito |
SS Jeremiah O'Brien is a Liberty ship built during World War II. You can find this historic ship next to USS Pampanito. This ship is a rare survivor that stormed Normandy on D-Day in 1944. This ship is one of only two currently operational WWII Liberty ships out of 2711 ships built during the war. Getting aboard this gigantic ship is also a unique experience.
You will also get a good sight of Alcatraz Island and Golden Gate Bridge.
Happy travelling.
