Very worthwhile visit, and wonderful at night. The ship berthed in Auckland a few years ago:

They light it up in a festive way and the cadets are very welcoming.

Great for kids, too. Lots of riveting nautical artifacts:

The legendary hero, bare and gleaming.

Thorne- any idea where she's bound from SF?

Nope, didn't get to see her as I was up north. Probably has schedule info on her website, wherever that might be...
