Ship Ashore - Whale Eyeball Ship Ashore is a huge old ship plunked down right next
to Highway 101 and turned into a fantastic kitsch museum/ gift shop. The
museum has no discernable theme; there are displays on pirates, local
history, military artifacts, marine oddities (a whale eyeball in a
jar!!) and stuffed animals. Best of all, admission is free. [Landon Phillips, 05/05/2002]
