Held in the former Municipal Ferry Terminal building, the Los Angeles Maritime Museum was established in 1979 as a means of preserving maritime culture while also saving the historic building which was built in 1941. The building is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places and recognized as a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument. You’ll see several exhibits at the museum including large ship models such as the ‘SS Poseidon’ from the 1972 disaster film and the U.S. Navy cruiser ‘Los Angeles’. Other popular exhibits are dedicated to the once-thriving fishing industry in San Pedro as well as the San Pedro Fishermen’s Fiesta.
