ship ashore museum印象

WE arrived on a Tuesday and it appeared the gift shop and museum had been closed a while.. We did ride down and tour the coastal area behind it. We enjoyed walking around the old ship in any case. The website and history of "the Ship" is quite interesting. The website says: "The gift shop and museum is temporarily closed".?

The Ship Ashore Museum is closed, it appears permanently. Fond memories as a kid from this attraction and it had a great history, looks cool sitting up on land.

Love the location at the mouth of the Smith River and the Pacific. Hotel is old, but adequate. Restaurant is good, food has been excellent. Visit at least every 6 months and sometimes more.

The "Ship Ashore" is one of the landmarks of far northwest California. Located right next to Highway 101 in Smith River, you can't miss it!The ship was built in 1925 as a private ocean going yacht named "Caritas". At the onset of WWII, the US Navy bought her and converted her to a messenger and weather ship called the USS Garnet. After the war, she was decommissioned, sold and brought to Smith River in 1950.For 15 years, the ship was a restaurant and office for the motel. In 1965, with the help of a dozen bulldozers, "The Ship" was moved up onto dry land about a quarter mile from the ocean, alongside the highway.The ship houses a small museum that is filled with all sorts of stuff. There is a selection of Indian artifacts, information on the ship's history, and an eclectic collection of interesting items. Exhibits are a bit dusty and disorganized, but that's part of the charm ;-) There is also a gift shop that sells a variety of souvenirs.The museum is closed in the winter, but just clambering aboard the ship is a fun experience.

Good to stop and see once in your life time. It has some interesting facts in the little museum area. A lot of the gift items look to have been around a long time. Not something I would drive 40 or 50 miles to see. Take the kids and tell them how it was. Kids under 5 will be really bored. Not sure if the place has been upgraded since we visited some months ago. Take a look, there was no admission back then, not sure now.

Pretty cheesy, nothing special. It's your typical tourist trap. Fun for kids, but adults will not find it very interesting.

The Ship Ashore property has been disintegrating for years. The museum shows the signs of neglect, and is considered by many nearby residents as an eyesore. Bad management.

The hotel is in horrible condition now. We used to stay there, but the carpets were so dirty and the general lack of repairs has stopped our visits. It is a crying shame as the location is wonderful.

It is not too much but cute! Just don't expect too much and all will be fine
