About this Event
Set foot in spaces typically off-limits to visitors in an exclusive, behind-the-scenes Hard Hat tour, presented by John and Barbara Burson. Explore the Col. James M. Schoonmaker Museum Ship and Museum Tug Ohio like never before during this 2-hour experience. You'll have an opportunity to take a deeper dive into the ships’ inner workings and visit “hard-hat” only locations like the:
- The Schoonmaker’s Owners Galley, the lowest points of the boat, as well as a deeper look in the Engine Room.
- The Tug Ohio’s Engine Room and Forward Cabins
From glimpses into our newest artifact’s restoration, to the Schoonmaker's original boiler bricks—you’ll see it all from an insider’s view.
