It might be a good idea to ride bikes from your San Francisco Maritime National Historic Site apartments when you go see the museum with friends. At this beautiful waterfront museum, residents of San Francisco apartments just don't have much parking but the meters out front, so consider a trolley ride or other public transportation as well. People who live in San Francisco Maritime National Historic Site apartments also have the advantage of being close to Fisherman's Wharf where you can also get the sights, smells and tastes of the Pacific Ocean. Here you can buy fresh fish at its finest. The museum itself is actually more of an on-board ship experience for San Francisco apartment residents. Two huge ships, the Balclutha sailing boat and the Eureka ferry boat are available for tour and it's an eye opening experience. Sail masters raise the sail on the Balclutha, with riggers climbing up the pole for look outs. You can tour below the decks of the Eureka, and appreciate the Golden Gate Bridge. Believe me; it's much speedier to drive over a bridge, even in traffic, than it is to ride a ferry. A guided tour will show the extent of the San Francisco Maritime National Historic Site, with plenty of activities for San Francisco apartment dwellers to choose from. Indoor activities include stopping by the visitor center for all types of shipping information, shopping in the maritime store or attending lectures, while San Francisco Maritime National Historic Site apartment residents can make a day of the trip to the museum by touring both ships, playing on the Aquatic Park Beach, and having a picnic in one of the many spots to enjoy.
