Are there any large ship tours around the San Francisco Bay Area?
I will be in the Bay Area for July 22, 23, 24.
I have a really big interest in large container ships and tanker ships.
I learned that there is a tour of the Port of Oakland, but to my dismay, there is not one taking place during the dates I will be there.
Are there any other tours or experiences for someone who just want to see/experience large ships around the ports of the bay area?

- USS Hornet. Designated a National Historic Landmark, the ship also recovered the Apollo 12 capsule and crew and artifacts from its space mission are displayed onboard. www.uss-hornet.org/
- USS Pampanito. Built in 1943, the sub made six patrols in the Pacific during the war, sinking six Japanese ships and damaging four more. www.maritime.org
- S.S. Jeremiah O'Brien. The ship, at 441 feet long and 57 feet wide, was originally made to carry cargo. Liberty Ships were built quickly and expected to make just one ocean trip. The O’Brien, however, made several. It first set sail in 1943 and was chosen for restoration in 1966. www.ssjeremiahobrien.org

There's plenty of small-boat fishing on the bay, but many days it's just too rough. Upriver, with the sun beaming down and the fog line gray in the distance, the waters are shared among skiers, jet skiers, fishermen, determined sailors, powerboaters, and houseboats loaded with kids with water guns at the ready.SAN FRANCISCO BAY CRUISE 8K
