Practical notes
Accessibility
Check the museum entrance and the route from the berth. A historic cannery can include boardwalks and varied surfaces; ask about the exact visitor tour and accessible facilities before reserving transport.
Weather
Wind, rain and cooler conditions can make exposed waterfront walking uncomfortable. Carry a layer and shorten outdoor sections when needed. Check the ship and operator instructions for any boat connection and retain time for the return boarding process.
