The '''Ship Cafe''', also know as the '''hotel ship ''Cabrillo''''', was a landmark of [[Venice, California]] in the first half of the 20th century. Parked off Windward Avenue on the south side of the Venice Pier from 1903 to 1946, the waterfront restaurant was known for its sumptuous food and prestigious clientele.
