When we photographed Jeremiah O'Brien in 2005 and 2009, she was docked at Pier 45. After a four-alarm blaze destroyed a quarter of the structures on Pier 45 on 23 May 2020, she was moved to pier 35.

SS Jeremiah O'Brien is open to the public at Pier 35 and for cruises on the San Francisco Bay, Suisun Bay and Delta. Visit the official SS Jeremiah O'Brien Web Site for more information.
