The Museum building, built in 1941, was originally used as a ferry terminal, transporting people and automobiles between San Pedro and Terminal Island. The area of the first floor where cars would enter and exit is now used as the Navy Hall. Here you can see several large ship models, and recreations of the flying bridge on the heavy cruiser USS LOS ANGELES (CA-135) and living spaces aboard the submarine USS LOS ANGELES (SSN-688).
