American Victory Ship & Museum is a unique cargo boat museum in Tampa, Florida, housed on the well-maintained, highly authentic ship American Victory. American Victory served in the Korean and Vietnam Wars as well as World Wars I and II.
Long-term restoration and preservation efforts began in 1998, resulting in the ship’s rescue from a scrapyard and inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places. Opened to the public as a museum in 2003, the unusual exhibition space is also known as the American Victory Mariners Memorial or Mariners Museum, and it remains a favourite historical adventure for families from both near and far.

What are the highlights of the American Victory Ship & Museum in Tampa?
Appropriate for all ages, the American Victory Ship & Museum welcomes everyone to look through the exhibits at their own pace. The exhibits consist mainly of genuine wartime artefacts, weapons, restoration process photographs, and additional era-specific memorabilia. On the command deck, the ship has been equipped with modern VHF radio and radar, with a few other advancements elsewhere for easier access and use throughout the museum.
Rooms have also been brought as close to their original condition as possible and include a captain’s quarters, an electrician’s quarters, a radio room, an engine room usually only available to view from a catwalk, and a gallery cold storage.
