Pier 35, pier in San Francisco

Pier 35 is a pier on The Embarcadero in San Francisco, just east of Pier 39. Its bulkhead wharf and pier substructure date from 1914, and its bulkhead building and transit shed were built in 1915–1916. The transit shed has an elevated gallery and a mezzanine, and its east aisle was altered in 1981 with new offices, waiting rooms, an escalator and a staircase.

Pier 35 was built starting in 1914 and completed in 1916, then served as a cruise ship terminal for lines like Grace Line and Princess Cruises. After a new cruise terminal opened at Pier 27 in 2014, it was repurposed for events, and since 2020 it has housed the historic ship SS Jeremiah O'Brien as a museum attraction.

Pier 35's transit shed, rebuilt in 1933 for the Grace Line, kept an elevated gallery where passengers and their friends waited to board and disembark. The liner Santa Lucia was present at the dedication on October 19, 1933. Since 2014 the shed has been rented out as an event space, and the Liberty ship SS Jeremiah O'Brien has been moored here since 2020.

Pier 35 is easy to reach and sits next to popular Fisherman's Wharf. The location has parking, but using public transit like BART or bus is recommended since these are readily available and reliable for getting around the waterfront.

The SS Jeremiah O'Brien, located at Pier 35 since 2020, is one of the few remaining World War II-era ships still afloat and open for public tours. This makes the pier a special place to experience an important piece of maritime history that many visitors overlook when focused on nearby Fisherman's Wharf.
