SLATER Restoration Tours: Winter 2024 – 2025

Monday – Friday: 10 AM & 1 PM

USS SLATER is offering Restoration Tours throughout the winter months when we have historically been closed to the public. These tours cannot be offered as often as our regularly scheduled tours, but they will offer a glimpse of what our volunteers are working on throughout the winter season!

Explore the decks with real-life North Atlantic Convoy conditions!

Realistic expectations:

1. The entire ship will not be on display. Guns will be covered for the winter and some locations will be closed for the season.

2. You will still hear the history of the ship, see where the sailors lived, ate, and slept. You’ll hear and see for yourself what our volunteers are working on.

3. Most of the tour will take place inside the ship, but you should still dress for the weather – as the heat does not reach all spaces equally.

4. Tickets must be pre-booked and are available through our website. They will not be available for purchase at our office for walk-ins.

5. If we need to cancel your tour for any reason, (foul weather, lack of tour guide, hazardous conditions of the decks, etc.) we will offer a full refund and let you know via email before 9 AM the day of your tour.

6. Our Ship’s Store will be open after your tour.
