The restored WWII American Victory Ship will soon shift from its home berth behind the Florida Aquarium to Sparkman Wharf, where it will operate daily through October. The museum ship that formerly served in WWII, Korea, and Vietnam welcomes visitors for daily tours of the entire ship including cargo holds, engine room spaces, the wheelhouse, and nine total decks to explore. At night, the ship transforms into UNDead in the Water, Tampa’s premier nautical haunted attraction. The attraction operates October 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, 16, 22, 23, 28, 29, 30 and 31. This exciting new location allows UNDead in the Water to compliment the Haunted Wharf, which is in its third season at Sparkman Wharf and operating six nights in October.
In its fourth iteration, a new UNDead in the Water theme, Save Our Souls, threatens passengers across 60,000 square feet of cavernous cargo holds and open-air decks. The American Victory Ship has drifted back to Tampa after surviving a violent hurricane in the Bermuda Triangle. The frantic and terrified crew tell horrific stories of a mysterious female apparition. Who is she and what does she want?
The attraction features live scare actors and thrilling special effects through a nail-biting path aboard the ship, and is recommended for ages 11 and up. Tickets are available for all twelve nights at www.undeadinthewater.com. Capacity is limited, and advance purchase for specific time slots is required.
