San Pedro Municipal Ferry Building, Maritime museum in San Pedro, Los Angeles, United States.

The San Pedro Municipal Ferry Building features an octagonal clock tower and Streamline Moderne architecture designed by Derwood Lydell Irvin in 1941.

The terminal operated ferry services between San Pedro and Terminal Island until 1963, when the Vincent Thomas Bridge construction made water transportation unnecessary.

The Los Angeles Maritime Museum displays merchant ship models, fishing industry artifacts, and exhibits about commercial diving throughout its two floors.

The Maritime Museum opens from Wednesday to Sunday between 12:00 PM and 5:00 PM, with final admission at 4:30 PM, remaining closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.

Visitors can practice tying 64 different types of seaman's knots and control the wheel of a nineteenth-century sailing vessel in the interactive exhibits.
