If you are ever in the Los Angeles area, there is another Victory Ship, the SS Lane Victory, docked in LA Harbor. It is usually open to the public and is preserved and maintained by the United States Merchant Marine Veterans of World War II, a non-profit. The ship is fully functional and has a tradition of offering summer cruises off the coast to the public; they even stage faux attacks by period aircraft and deck guns are manned to repel the attackers:

Te cruises have been put on hold while they repair the boilers, but are promised to resume...

Here is a link to their website:
