The lovely Cuahtemoc.
Okay, okay, not really. The Cuauhtémoc is a training vessel built in the style of 18th-century tall ships and acts as a sailing ambassador, visiting global ports so locals can come aboard. The ship is docked at Pier 27 through Saturday and visitors can wander on for free between the hours of 9 a.m and 5 p.m. Also, if you have trouble getting up and down short flights of stairs, there are dapper sailors waiting at every turn to take your hand and help you. (This caused at least one guy behind me to ask, "Did you like it when that sailor held your hand?" Sometimes its good to keep your inside thoughts inside, people.)

Do not even think about bringing your guns or your cats on board! Kids are okay, though.

Soup's on! The interior of the kitchen was teeming with meat.

The command center. Is that a slot machine?

San Francisco loves a sailor.

In the event of a pirate attack, the Cuauhtémoc is prepared. This gun also is capable of taking out any approaching vessel piloted by John Cota.
