Ever dreamed of operating a ship or being a crewman? Now you can get the chance you’ve always wanted, with a visit to the SS American Victory Mariners' Memorial and Museum Ship. A true American icon, this proud vessel saw action in the Pacific Theatre during World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War. She faithfully carried cargo, equipment and troops back to the USA after the wars ended, a celebratory journey like that of victors bearing home the spoils of war. Her sturdy frame has even seen two typhoons and one hurricane, and lived to tell the tale. With all these achievements in mind, she’s fittingly earned the name ‘Victory,’ and has become a symbol of American military prowess around the globe in the 20th century. Today, she sits peacefully in the harbor of Florida’s Channel District, her insides turned into a museum for civilian tourists to explore. Here you can find an original submarine propeller from a German U-boat, and a variety of plaques recovered from other vessels that have been sunken or scrapped, among other curiosities. It’s definitely a visit that will ignite your sense of adventure.
