We went on a tour of the NS Savannah, the first civilian nuclear-powered merchant ship, it sailed from early 60s to mid 70s. While so much of the ship reminded me of TOS (the mid-century look but also stuff like the ‘grates’ in the staterooms), our tour guide pointed out these tables and said Gene Roddenberry had been on the ship at some point prior to TOS. Just thought it was interesting!

They don’t have any scheduled now but there is an open house on 11/14/26. There is some uncertainty as to what will happen to the ship at the end of the year. It’s still owned by the US government and it could be scrapped if they can’t find an organization willing to take it over and run it as a museum ship.
