This maze of scares is set aboard The American Victory Ship, a 1945 WWII vessel with a storied past. The ship, built in just 55 days at a California shipyard, served in WWII, Korea, and Vietnam. Today, it stands as a revered American icon and one of only three fully operational WWII Victory-class ships in the country. As a floating museum, it welcomes visitors Monday from noon to 5pm., and Tuesday through Sunday from 10am to 5pm.

“Undead in the Water” is not for the faint-hearted or young children. Brave souls who dare to traverse the multiple decks of this historic ship will need nerves of steel and a will to survive.
