Cruiser Olympia at Independence Seaport Museum

The Cruiser Olympia is the Oldest Steel Warship Afloat, built in 1892, commissioned in 1895, and served until 1922. She is the only example left of American 20th Century steel warship design and is both a National Historic Landmark and National Historic Engineering Landmark. OLYMPIA is also currently one of the most intact historic vessels, with around 80% of her original fabric still intact as it was before 1922.

Our mission is to bring attention and funding to repairing and fully restoring this grand lady back to her formal glory. Currently, we are looking for donations to help us get into our first drydock since 1945.
