In September 2002, my husband and myself were at the start of our California holiday from the UK. On the eve before we were leaving for Lake Tahoe we read that the SS Jeremial O'Brien was due into port. The next morning from our hotel in Fisherman's Wharf we could see the ship had docked. We decided to visit before leaving. When we got to the wharf they were cleaning the deck etc so thought we wouldn't be able to visit. My husband spoke to someone on board and even though they were not ready to accept visitors, because we were leaving they kindly allowed us to board. It was a fascinating visit and my husband was so happy as it was a perfect ending to a fantastic visit to San Francisco.
