5 /5 Abby D: If you’re in Key West out this stop on your destinations list ! Even if you’re not super into military museums ( as I am not ) going through this ship is like a time capsule and will blow you away!
This is a self guided tour and at the time there was only one other couple aboard the ship ahead of us- so we literally had the place to ourselves. We happened upon this floating museum because we were riding our bikes around Key West and this was truly one of the highlights of our time there.
It was $15 regular price and veterans get a discount on ticket price - $10 . This is a private museum and is partially funded by donations so consider a few bucks extra if you can , to help support this piece of living history.
Take your time and walk through. You can go from top to bottom of the ship. There’s a lot that you can touch, but some rooms are behind plexiglass to preserve the displays . This ship is as it was when it was last used in the late 80’s. Things were left there and it’s been used as a museum ever since. I just can’t say enough about how extremely cool going aboard the Ingham was. I really had such a big impact on our Key West adventure.
