All Aboard the Western Flyer!
Step aboard the legendary Western Flyer—the historic vessel once sailed by John Steinbeck and Ed Ricketts! Explore the galley, berths, and wheelhouse, learn how the ship was restored, and imagine life on its 1940 expedition. Get hands-on with marine science as you collect and study plankton in the onboard lab, pilot an ROV, and capture your discoveries through nature journaling and ocean-inspired art. It’s a one-of-a-kind day where science, history, and creativity come alive!
