The Ship: Kansas City, MO

Year:

1935

The Ship was originally located in downtown Kansas City just a few blocks from City Hall. The lounge opened shortly after the repeal of Prohibition. The distinctive interior was disassembled in 1995 when the building that housed it was demolished for Ilus Davis Park. It was reassembled and opened to the public in the West Bottoms in 2014.
