History:
When you visit San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park, you embark on a journey into San Francisco's waterfront past.

Thousands of visitors enter the park every day - by foot, cable car, tour bus or water. The park, which sits on the northern shore of San Francisco, stretching from Fisherman's Wharf to Fort Mason, is a destination for tourists and locals alike. And, through your support, it provides an unparalleled educational experience for thousands of Bay Area students each year.

San Francisco Maritime National Park Association is the Cooperating Partner to San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park. The Association raises money and provides resources for the national park. Donations to San Francisco Maritime National Park Association sustain the Park, preserve an important icon of San Francisco, extend the reach of life-changing programs to students, and support our nation's only floating U.S. National Park.
