Tall Ships on Mare Island

Visit us at Mare Island Art Glass and check out the amazing Tall Ships while you're here. The Tall Ships are normally located at the San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park but now, while construction is in place. the Tall Ships are located at the Mare Island Naval Shipyard. Visitors are not currently allowed on the ships, but can view them from Mare Island.

San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park maintains the largest and most diverse collection of national historic landmark ships in the United States, representing a pivotal period of maritime commerce on the West Coast as the industry shifted from sail to mechanical power. The fleet of six historic ships—five of which are national historic landmarks—represents a significant period in maritime commerce: the late 19th to mid-20th century. These ships provide a variety of opportunities to learn about maritime preservation and experience the development of trade methods and technologies in sailing ships and steam vessels.
