Undead in the Water: Tampa’s Wild Haunted Attraction Aboard a WWII Cargo Ship

Prepare for chills and thrills as Undead in the Water, Tampa’s only nautical haunted attraction, returns to the Tampa waterfront this Halloween season. Running on select dates through November 1, this eerie experience offers visitors a spine-tingling blend of history and horror aboard one of the nation’s most historic ships.

Step Aboard the American Victory Ship

Set aboard The American Victory Ship, a 1945 WWII cargo vessel with a storied past, Undead in the Water promises a terrifying adventure across multiple decks. Built in just 55 days, this remarkable vessel served in World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. Today, it stands as one of only three fully operational WWII Victory-class ships in the U.S., serving as a floating museum open Monday from noon to 5 p.m., and Tuesday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
